What have we come to? I had a letter recently from a parishioner telling me he had fallen in love with another man and therefore wasn't going to be coming to Mass anymore!
The Gospel yesterday in the Old Rite was the wheat harvest sown with
zizzania (translated as cockle), the owner tells the servants that
rather than weeding out the weeds, to leave them until harvest time,
'lest the wheat also is lost'. The Second Vatican Council spoke about a
'universal call to holiness', what we seem to have difficulty with is
coping with the fact that not everyone wants 'holiness', or at least
wants to delay it until the last moment, or simply feels they are
incapable of it.. (continued)
