“We pray for those suffering from addiction may be properly helped and accompanied.” —Pope Francis
*************************************
In Pope Francis’ prayer intention for April 2020, he asked everyone to pray for those who suffer from addiction, especially addiction to gambling, pornography, and the internet.
After last week’s parable of the sower, in today’s gospel, Matthew 13:24–43, we read the parables of the risk of weeding wheat, the promise of growth in tiny seeds, and the effect of leaven in bread dough.
Each of us must strive to be leaven in our neighbourhood’s/nation’s ‘dough’.
