The enemy who sows them is the devil

Ex 33,7-11; 34,5b-9.28; Ps 102; Mt 13,36-43

Saint Paul teaches the disciples of Jesus that Satan also dresses as an angel of light for the ruin of believers. Angel of light is the Christian. Satan can assume the clothes of the Christian for the ruin of the Church and of the world. Christian is the pope, the bishop, the presbyter, the deacon, the confirmed and the baptized. A Christian is also one who feeds on the Eucharist. Christian is the theologian, the teacher and the doctor. Christian is also the great professor. Satan can use all the disciples of Jesus to sow weeds.

For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God, since I betrothed you to one husband to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts may be corrupted from a sincere (and pure) commitment to Christ. For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it well enough. For I think that I am not in any way inferior to these “superapostles.” For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, who masquerade as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. So it is not strange that his ministers also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds (2Cor 11,1-15).

As a protection and defence against the snares of the Angel of light, St. Paul invites Christians to wear a special armour. With it you are immune from every danger.

Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armour of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armour of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones (Eph 6,10-18).

The truths of the parable are many. We only highlight three of them. On the earth, in the same place, in the same house and in the same community, wheat and weeds always grow together and walk together. However, it is always the Christian’s duty to put all attention not to let lies and falsehood be sown in his heart. With falsehood he also transforms himself into an angel of light. Did not the woman turn for man into an angel of light for the ruin of all mankind? But everyone must know that if he becomes a weed, there will be no place for him in the granaries of heaven. His place is in the flames of eternal fire. He will burn without consuming himself forever and ever.

Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” He said in reply, “He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.

But now between what the Gospel announces and what we believe there is an infinite distance. Many of Jesus’ disciples turned into angels of light and took away the truth from the Word of Jesus. There is no more wheat or even weeds. We are all equal before God. There is no longer eternal hell. We will all be welcomed into Paradise. There is not even the Gospel anymore. Even Christ Jesus is no longer needed. All “Gods” are equal.

Mother of God, Angels and Saints arrange that the hearts believe in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus.
