Wisdom 12:  And you taught your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind;
and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.
Romans 8:  The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
Matthew 13:  Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.  While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.
