TODAY'S DAILY REFLECTION: Be the Wheat That Bears Good Fruit

Tuesday, July 28, 2026
Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus
Today's Readings:
- Jeremiah 14:17–22
- Psalm 79:8, 9, 11, 13
- Matthew 13:36–43
In today's Gospel, Jesus explains the parable of the wheat and the weeds. The wheat represents the children of God's Kingdom, while the weeds represent those who choose the path of evil. For a time, both are allowed to grow together, but at the harvest, each will receive what is due.
Jesus gives us a clear message: focus on becoming good wheat rather than judging who the weeds are. In His great mercy, God patiently gives everyone the opportunity to repent and return to Him. Yet that opportunity will not last forever. A day will come when each of us will stand before the Lord and give an account of our lives.
In our daily lives, we often encounter temptation, injustice, and people who disappoint us. Our calling, however, is not to repay evil with evil, but to continue growing in love, honesty, faithfulness, and humility. These are the fruits of a true disciple of Christ.
Today, let us ask ourselves: Is my life producing good fruit for God and for others? Do not allow the seeds of sin to take root in your heart. Instead, nurture the seeds of faith through prayer, God's Word, and acts of love each day.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, make my heart like good wheat that grows and bears abundant fruit for Your glory. Give me the strength to remain faithful in love, truth, and holiness until the end of my life. Amen.
May God bless us all. ❤️
