This pandemic has not been very easy, especially for our young people. During a very social time in their lives where they are supposed to be out and learning more through interactions, it can be difficult with the circumstances they are in. Reflecting upon the scripture passage for today, we decided to have some of our young people share what gives them hope and perseverance during this time.
Amidst our seemingly hopeless current situation, St. Timothy’s community members remind of us of why we must continue to be hopeful, through their heartfelt reflections of hope. We cannot give up despite what we’re going through right now. Let us reflect on what has been keeping us hopeful during this time, and let us sincerely express our gratitude to the people and to the beings who have been supporting us through it all.
There is always hope, and we should never forget that. Here are the reflections by Nicole, Jason and Liam from Hi-C, and Daniel from our College Group.
Matthew 11:16-19
The Parable of Weeds among the Wheat
24 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he replied, ‘No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’”
