i pray for your dad's sufferings to be as minimum as possible father.... my dad passed away few mths ago due to stomach cancer which is close to colon cancer, and he was 82 years old, despote his age he went thru chemo and was scheduled for an operations.... but a simple food poisioning caused his death when he was too weak to fight it.... all in the experience was very painful, and if there is one thing I have learnt.... its better to "go" early and save all theh sufferings and pain... amen
I will always prayer for recovery of your Dad, Good Lord will cure him and he will be healed Amazing father how you have explained me to make the sign of the cross, now it’s very meaningful and I will teach my daughter and niece to do the same. I will also stop judging others and not speak anything about those who don’t want me in their lives Will always pray for you Father
Thank you Father for sharing and explaining to us the word of God May the precious blood of our Loving Lord Jesus Christ be on your his child and we pray that your dad will be healed in Jesus name we pray... Amen 🙏🏻 Thank you Jesus
Very much need this teaching specially during present times. We judge people too often but today’s teaching helped me understand that we must leave the final outcome to our Lord Jesus and pray for the people. Thank you Fr Warner.
We pray for your Father in Jesus mighty name. Fr. Warner. Loved the detailed explanation on the passage of the Gospel. Its amazing when we identify the enemy by Gods grace so we can know the weeds in our characteristics.
Thank u for for this beautiful it was really very good and eye openingo us us all for not judge and the sign on the forehead lips heart is truly true I thank u fr I wil pray for Ur dad Inge name of Jesus amen
Definitely praying for your father n your family. May the joy of the lord be your strength. N we believe the lord has sent out his word n healed your dad in Jesus name we pray.Amen
Today’s parable reminded me of the story of a Cherokee who talks to his grandson about the two wolves at war within him, one bad and one good. When his grandson questioned him about who would win, he replied ‘the one he would feed.’ Since both these aspects coexist within us, it ultimately depends upon which one we choose to feed. And to ensure we make the right choices, we must surrender our will to our Lord who through His Spirit will guide us at every step. Eventually, the aspect that we consistently ignore or starve will lose its power over us. Yes, it’s so easy to point fingers and pronounce judgment on others, while ignoring our own faults. When we expect God to understand and be patient with us, we also should be empathetic towards others, if we claim to be His followers. Thank you Father Warner for your commitment towards these teachings despite the storm in your own life that reminds us of yet another quality of Jesus. God bless you and your family.
Thank you Fr. Warner for today's teaching. I've indeed come a long way in the area of judging and condemning others. It's still a work in progress however now I'm more conscious and instead of judging I say a prayer for the person. Keeping U. Edmund and all of you in my prayers, that God may heal Uncle soon and guide the medical team to take the right decision in the line of treatment 🙏 It's amazing, even in the midst of all that you go thru you still think of us and plan your teachings so that we don't miss out 🙏 God bless you Fr. Warner ❤️
Thankyou Fr Warner for today's teaching Prayers are assured for your dad's recovery. Our good master lord will heal him and be with you and your family take courage and never loose hope.have a safe journey fr
I have learned something else today. I will try my level best not to speak ill of others ; or even judge them. You have clearly spelt out: highlight the 'sin,' but not the 'sinner.' Thank you, Fr. Warner.
Thank you Father for god's instrument you have been in sowing the seeds of god's unconditional love for us. Eversince I have heard your bible teachings and eucharist my life is renewed gradually. Thank you for explaining the gospel in a simple way in the light of it's context and revealing the truth which helps us daily in our spiritual and physical transformation. We will pray for your Dad that god's will be done in his life, May he be given the grace to accept god's will in his life. 🙏
Prayers for your dad Fr Warner. He was part of our Cantors group in St. Andrew Church Bandra-- a good singer Thank you for the teaching today. Every year I hear this Gospel at mass and never look at it as my weakness to judge others from just the exterior. May Jesus the good Shepherd bring me back to where I belong.
Extremely insightful teaching. In fact I too have always labelled the sinner, and point fingers. Whenever any misfortune or calamity befalls them, my first reaction is 'this is God's punishment for your sin'. Today I realised how wrong I have been. I pray for your dad's health and for your family too. God bless you !
the workers are those in the vineyard - religious missionaries pastors etc. wishing for speedy recovery of your dad. Thanks for sharing the consecration signs. stay blessed
Today's teaching was beautiful Fr. I particularly liked the sentence "Call out the sin and not the sinner" So true the final outcome is Jesus authority and yet we tend to sit in judgement on every one including ourselves. Lord help us to heed your teaching "Judge not and you will not be judged.". Let me not be a hypocrite wanting mercy for myself and justice for others. Give me the grace to be merciful and compassionate - a true Christian.
Every word you share with us Fr. Warner comes with so much wisdom, discernment and context. 'Let the one without sin throw the first stone' comes to mind here. Not one of us is without sin yet we feel quite okay to get on our high horse and point out others sins. I often wonder how patient God is with the human race! As you mentioned we must call out the sin not the sinner. Only God can judge. When I think about the weeds that sneakily grow alongside the wheat in the context of our life it is a lesson that if we tackle these weeds with grace it builds our character and makes us stronger to reap a beautiful harvest at the end. I pray that God will bless each of us and send us the grace to be mindful of our day to day actions and interactions in a way that will make Him proud of us. Sorry to hear about your dad Fr. Warner. Will keep him and your family in my prayers. May the Divine Healer be with you all during this trying time.
Morning Our adorable Fr Warner n today’s teaching has taught us so much. Thk u Fr for bringing to our notice tht we hv no rite to comment on others wen we hv dirt in our eyes, forgive me Lord n Thk u for opening my eyes. Hence forth I want to b good my Jesus. Fr Warner u are our God who bring us closer to our Lord. Fr love d way u showed us sign of d cross n d meaning n d Arabic greeting too. You did d action so beautifully Fr just like Arabs here in Kuwait. Nw I’ll remember ur words every time I do d sign of d cross. Fr prayers totally for ur dad every day without fail . Blessings n prayers to u our dear Fr Warner n ur mom n dad too. Godbless n hv a blessed day Fr.
Prayers are assured for your Dad, pray Jesus heal him with his precious blood. My learning today is just stop judging, pointing fingers at others and start living a normal loving life. Thank you Father.
Sad to hear that your father has cancer. May God give him the courage to face the illness with courage and hope for the best. May his surgery be successful. Praying for him and you and your family. Your positivity will certainly help all of you face the situation. God Bless
I shall pray for your dad's recovery and to give you and your family strength in this time we always like to put the blame on others so we try to be safe but try and be good soil and sow good seeds and start first with our family
Fr as always a very good teaching. We have to admonish but not judge. The sign on the forehead ,lips n heart before the proclamation, I pray to open my mind, zip my lips n make my heart like yours,Jesus.
Father i feel that the weeds are the bad people who are still loved by the good people and the lord wants to wait keep patience with the bad ones to change as for sometimes punishing the bad ones might effect the good ones ( for eg. If a loved one dies suddenly) until the time for harvest comes when they have to be judged.
Your Dad, Mum, you , your sister and the rest of your family are in my prayers everyday ever since I read you post on Facebook. My prayer to our Heavenly Father is - Let your will be done. This has been my prayer through all the trials in my life. Fr. Warner, the Lord will always be with you for you are doing His Will.
How simple Jesus makes it , through his parables so that we understand better, n apply it to our daily lives Starting with the Sower, the Seed, the Soil..now the waiting period for the good fruits. It's quite a serious thought, of how alert I am, of how am I living my life, am I preparing for harvest time, am I sorry, am I repenting, am I making changes, what am I doing with my life. Mostly I find havent changed much, esp not to my family. Help me Lord, give me the grace to make serious life changes in my life. Tk u Fr, for encouraging us with our comments n helping us with yr interpretations.
Good Morning Fr. Warner. Was sad to note about your dad. My fly & I are praying for the speedy recovery of your dad & for your mom's good health, strength, courage & perseverance in this difficult time of her life. You/fly have our prayer support, Fr. God bless you & yr fly.
May God grant your father speedy recovery and heal him. Also I ask God to give your family the strength required to go through this difficult phase of life.
Thank you Fr. for your inspiring reflection on today's gospel of the sower and the seed. First and foremost we offer our prayers to our Lord Jesus with a humble heart and with our hands outstretched praying for mercy that your Dad be healed by the blood from pierced side of our Lord Jesus and by his precious wounds. We make this prayer to our loving and good heavenly Father in the name of his only Son Jesus whom he sent into this world that we may not perish but have eternal life in him. Lord Jesus grant us the grace to coexist with our brotheren with the love you taught us and the teachings you gave us, because your love can transform the weed to bear wheat that can nourish other weeds in the field and thereby giving a rich harvest to the Owner and Master. Of the field Lord Jesus we praise and glorify your Majesty and give thanks to your Holy name. Alleluia Praise the Lord our God Amen 🙏
God Bless you Father and Your Parents too. What a great spiritual Learning of the Forbearance of God. Indeed the Lord hates sin and loves the sinner. And yes we are no judge. A constant reminder for me everyday.
Thought provoking. The posture of wheat versus weed/ humility v/s pride. Being judgemental v/s stress free living thru forgiveness. Correct interpretation in relation to context v/s impulsive random speech and finally salvation in God's eyes vis-a-vis condemnation by human judgement. Simply awesome. Thank you.
May God touch and heal your father and assist & strengthen you, your mum and all family members. Will keep all of you in prayer. Take care of yourself dear Fr. Warner. Thanks for teaching us the Word of God. Also for all your simple recipes. God bless you and family abundantly.
Good morning Fr Warner, may God's protection n presence be with you n your family, I pray the precious blood of Jesus cover your Dad n heal him. Will keep him in my prayers.
When you explained how the reapers would be able to identify the darnel from the wheat, I had this insight. You said the wheat bowed low because of the weight of the grains in their ears while the darnel being empty stood upright. Those who are good are often weighed down by suffering but this suffering bears fruit. The evil are full of their own pomp and appear arrogant, therefore upright in their own eyes.
Praise the Lord 🙏 Dear Fr. You always say it well, to the point and with the point in your focus. There is so much of sincerity and reality in what you say that at times it feels we are standing in front of a mirror. Yes I would not like to generalise but say I am also like a "Darnel" growing amongst wheat and under a false belief that I am too straight compared to the wheat, which is bent. Little do I realise that my straightness is empty and of no use if I do not possess a good seed in me. Thank you so much for your "Bulls Eye" analysis and sermon. Pray that the merciful, loving, kind Lord 🙏 Bless, Strengthen and Heal your Daddy in his present state of health. I make this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏.
Beautiful meaningful teaching Fr.. Many things you teach us today.. May almighty God touch and heal ur father.. 🙏May God protect you and your family.. Safe journey Fr. Stay safe...
Today's homily was very inspiring. You made us realize that what was taught 2000 years ago is totally relevant, meaningful, and applicable even today. I used to always wonder how people separated the weeds from the wheat.Ireally appreciate your commitment to reach out to us in spite of you personal problems .May God touch your father with his healing hands.
Hello Fr. The parable says, when harvest comes pull up weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them and then gather the wheat n put in my barn. We must have patience and evaluate ourself spiritually. God is slow in anger, he is forgiving n mercyful. We pray for early recovery of your frs illness, may God give strength to your fly 🕊️🙏❤️
God Bless You Father for Ur beautiful Teaching as usual, n like I have mostly said it always touches my 💓 but today for the first time I got to actually know what The Sign Means when we do it before the Gospel reading.Thank you so much father for helping me know the real meaning of many many things regarding what the Gospel is actually trying to tell me.God Bless you father once again
Thank you father for your insights in this homily. I would like to share my thoughts regarding when we were asleep the enemy sowed the weed. Truly St.Paul in one of his letters said be vigilant for the enemy is like a roaring lion seeks to devour. So if the slave were vigilant this problem of the darnel would not have occurred. My little thoughts. Praying for your dad too father. God bless ❤️
Good afternoon Fr... Thank you Fr. for today's Gospel reflection, explaining each and every verse in an explicit manner. Jesus, being the ultimate judge gives out a strong, yet strange command "Let the weeds not be pulled up, lest the wheat be uprooted with them; let them just grow together until harvest." St. Paul in Romans gives an assurance "The Spirit comes to our aid in our weaknesses. He Himself will intercede for us, when we cooperate with Him," Jesus too is asking me to wait. The parable gives me the reason for waiting, in getting rid of the evil weed, the good plant will be destroyed. The Lord is teaching me to stop the evil doer, which I must but not at the cost of the good. In the words of the Holy Father "Who am I to judge," Lord let me not be judgemental, rather let me be good and leave the outcome to God. Lord by this teaching, help me to grow spiritually and evaluate myself. Also, Fr. thanking you for explaining the beautiful gesture of signing ourselves on the forehead, lips and the heart with the words...guide my mind, my lips and my heart. And, also, keeping your father in our prayers, praying that the good LORD may extend His healing hands 🙌 on him and restore him good health. May the Lord give strength and courage and stand by you and family members during this hour of pain and suffering... wishing him a speedy recovery. AMEN!
Thank you dear Fr for the beautiful message based on today's readings 🙏🙏🙏 very sorry to know about your dear Dad we will surely keep him in our prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Father Warner!your explanation of the weed,the Middle East custom,the concept of sin and sinner has been so well explained….above all ,not to label people…..Many thanks 🙏🏽Will surely keep your family in my prayers.
We will continue to pray for your dad speedy recovery and comfort God bless you and your family
May our Lord Jesus touch your dad with a miraculous hand. God bless him and give him all the strength to bear every pain.
I will continue to pray for your dad. I pray for his speedy recovery.
Call out the sin and not the sinner.
Guard Oh Lord my thoughts, my lips and my heart with your Word
