Pentecost
19th July, 2026 (Year A – Pentecost 8) “Hands off the Weeds”
Pulling weeds may disturb the final harvest, the weeds are not the problem but weeding is. So allow them to stay. The word “allowing’ in the original text of the NT, is ‘Aphiemo’, which translates to “forgiveness”. In society who gets to decide who are weeds? Sometimes God is doing something that escapes us. Patience (another word for ‘love’) is needed. The goal is to tend , watch and wait, to see the seeds in people and the world.
