16th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings:
Wisdom 12:13, 16–19
Psalm 86
Romans 8:26–27
Matt 13:24–43

Reflection:
Today's readings reveal the patience, mercy, and wisdom of God. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches through the parable of the wheat and the weeds, reminding us that God does not rush to judge, but patiently gives every soul the opportunity to repent and bear good fruit. Wisdom tells us that God's strength is shown through mercy, while St. Paul assures us that even when we are weak and do not know how to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. As modern disciples, we are called to trust God's timing, persevere in prayer, and allow Him to patiently transform our hearts into a rich harvest for His Kingdom.

Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, help me to trust in Your mercy, cooperate with Your grace, and faithfully bear good fruit each day." -Amen.

“Jesus, We Trust in You!”
