Let Them Grow Together until the Harvest

Tultenango, Saturday, July 23, 2022
Preaching by Br. Oscar Guayán, OP.
Brothers and sisters, in the Gospel parable that has been proclaimed, the servants are very concerned about the fate of the good seed their master has sown, if it is left to grow together with the weeds. They are concerned about the results of the harvest. However, their master stops them in their eagerness to want to pull up the weeds, he asks them to be prudent, to act cautiously, for in their eagerness they may spoil everything.

Eve of the anniversary of the death of Saint Dominic.
The Spirit of God raised Dominic, messenger who crosses mountains, valleys, hills, and vast plains, announcing the Word of salvation, announcing peace. And Dominic made himself a prayer, groaning and weeping; and, from his sleepless nights, and from his tireless walk, the Father, who always hears the cries of his people, knew how to draw from Dominic words of grace, life and mercy.

Jer 31:31-34; Ps 51; Mt 16:13-23
The Gospel that today’s liturgy proposes for our meditation offers a turning point in the composition of Matthew’s Gospel. After the murder of John the Baptist, Jesus had left Galilee. He sought to avoid the large crowds so that he could devote himself entirely to his apostles, those to whom he would reveal the mystery of his passion.

This Sunday, the capitulars changed their activity, a more recreational one to socialize with the Dominican Family in Querétaro. To get to Santiago de Querétaro, the friars traveled by bus for three hours.

In the afternoon, Friar David Martinez de Aguirre, OP, Bishop of Puerto Maldonado, presented the mission of the Order of Preachers in the Peruvian Amazon. Our brother began by raising a question that some friars may wonder why the Peruvian Amazon is the protagonist, and why are there not other places of mission? Indeed, the Order serves other mission lands in many corners of the world. However, the Amazon has a significant peculiarity: it is a mission entrusted to the Order by the universal Church.
