Suddenly I have to take a big decision. I find that when these moments come, going to Mass can help the process. The trick is to concentrate on the mass and on the readings and not to think of the decision. Then a solution or what may be a solution comes. The reading was about the Darnel in the field. The trouble is that our minds are so cluttered with Darnel that true reality is difficult to perceive.

The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom, the darnel the subjects of the evil one; the enemy who also sowed them, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world, the reapers are the angels.

(Matt 13:36 – 43)
