~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Seventh Sunday after Trinity
Brothers and sisters,
This Sunday we hear again the parable of the wheat and the weeds (often called wheat & tares). It acknowledges that there are evil and righteous elements within the crop field of God's people - some would further add that there are obviously elements of righteousness and evil in our own persons.
Whether this should lead us to be pragmatic and thus tolerate a degree of unrighteousness, or whether this should remind us to be wary of the evil element in our midst, the end is the same. God will one day purge the evil from this world; separating it from the righteous, he will consign it to 'the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' (Matthew 13.42)
For the time being, how do we live with the sinfulness in our midst?
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
