Sunday, December 19
FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Is 7: 10-14
Rm 1: 1-7
Mt 1: 18-24

We need the "preventative" method. Better not sin at all than sin and then be repentant. Better avoid illness than curing it. Better to sow good grain only than have to waste time eliminating the weeds (VMC 1177).

No doubt. But in practical life we have to take the "field" the Lord assigns us and accept the weeds we find there. There are also merits to be earned in eliminating the weeds or even turning them into good grain! After all, good grain is simply a weed that has come on in the world!
