WHEAT, WEEDS AND A VIRUS
(Mt 13:24-30, 36-43)
There’s a parallel
between the virus , the weeds
and our behaviours?
Despite our efforts,
distancing, hand-washing, masks,
some refuse to ‘get it’.
They flout or ignore
measures for the common good:
we are all undone.
We are all anxious,
all creation is groaning,*
yearning for the day
Perhaps vigilance,
hard work, compassion succeed…
Dare we imagine?
