MISSION STATEMENT: We, the people of St. Peter Parish, Montgomery, IN, profess our Catholic faith. We
celebrate the seven sacraments of the Church. We pledge to witness to our Catholic faith in this
community and to be examples of Christian love and service to all, regardless of their religious affiliation.
Have you ever noticed that the people who are bad sometimes are the very same people who are good
sometimes? It reminds us of a story called, “Two Wolves.” It goes like this: An old Cherokee is teaching his
grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between
two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same
fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
Today’s Gospel parable reminds us that we are a mixture of good and evil and, hence, instead of judging others
we have to lead exemplary Christian lives and leave the judgment to God. We are called to recognize evil,
name it and then to give it to God in prayer so He can take care of it, the way the farmer in the parable told his
servants that he would take care of the weeds. God wants us to do good instead of evil, to bless instead of
cursing, to praise instead of criticizing, to help instead of standing aside, to love instead of hating, to forgive
instead of resenting and to tell the truth instead of lies. The disciples to whom Jesus addresses this parable
include Judas who will betray Jesus, Peter, who will deny him, Thomas, who will doubt him and James and
John, who cherish personal ambitions. In the end, only Judas is (apparently) lost, showing us that many
“weeds” can become high yielding wheat.
