(1 Cor. 1, 1–9; Matt. 13, 24–30) Good seed was sown, but the enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat. Tares are heresies and schisms in the Church, and in each of us there are evil thoughts, feelings, desires, passions. A person accepts the good seed of the word of God, decides to live holy and begins to live that way. When a person falls asleep like this, that is, weakens his attention to himself, then the enemy of salvation comes and puts evil plans into him, which, not being rejected at first, ripen into desires and dispositions and start their own circle of affairs and enterprises, mixed with good deeds, feelings and thoughts. And they both remain together until the harvest. This harvest is repentance. The Lord sends angels - a feeling of contrition and fear of God, and they, appearing like a sickle, burn up all the tares and burn them in the fire of painful self-condemnation. Clean wheat remains in the granary of the heart, to the joy of man, the angels, and the Most Good God worshiped in the Trinity. You might be interested in:
