Explain to us the parable…

March 5, 2024

Dear Family of Mary!

Here again is Our Lady’s Message of February 25, 2024:

“Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (February 25, 2024)

Our shipmate, JoAnn, pointed out to me that the subject of the Darnel continues further on in Matthew 13. The Lord spent time with his disciples explaining the parable of the wheat and the darnel (weeds) later in the chapter. Here is what Jesus plainly taught the disciples about the darnel:

Matthew 13:36-43

Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds [darnel] of the field.” He answered, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds [darnel]are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds [darnel] are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Mt 13:36-43)

Clearly this gospel reading is about the end of the world It is about judgement. God is the reaper, gathering in the good wheat and casting the darnel into the furnace of everlasting fire. And this is why Our Lady has come. She is with us to prepare us for the judgment of God. She is asking us to be light and love and outstretched hands in this world that yearns for God Who is Love!.

We have a role to play in this last age. We need to rescue as many souls as possible from the poison of the darnel that has been sown throughout the world. Only love can save the souls who are in danger of becoming the darnel (the sons of the evil one) that will be lost. We can be that love if we respond to Our Lady’s call.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
