In this reflection published on July 20, 2026, fr-matt shares a pastoral message following the 8th Sunday after Pentecost. Drawing from a recent trip to East Texas, he reflects on Jesus' parable of the wheat and the weeds (darnel).

Rather than prematurely pulling up weeds and risking the harvest, Fr. Matt encourages us to patiently "nurture the good wheat" in our families, neighborhoods, and the wider San Angelo community. We tend this good growth in our daily lives through prayer, scripture, Holy Sacrament, and God's abundant grace.
