What does the darnel seed represent and how is this darnel weed sown?
The seed represents the devil and his evil ways to try to confuse you. If you do nothing to live for Jesus Christ you can easily sow the bad seed from the devil.

What does the darnel seed represent and how is this darnel weed sown?
Darnel seed represents evil and it is sown while people `sleep` by the enemy, who is Satan and sleeping here refers to us not being vigilant and constantly being aware of Satan`s snares and desire to take us away from God.

Parable of the Weeds
1. darnel are wicked seeds, weeds, symbolizing evil. at harvest time, darnel will be burned 2. good seeds are of God, plants/man. Although men grow side by side evil, at harvest time, plants/wheat will be gathered into the barn, while darnel weeds will be burned.

darnel weeds represent evil ''his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds''. Good seeds are sown in the light of day, they bear fruit, worthy of harvest. In contrast, darnel weed is sown while people slept suggesting darkness, deception, something evil and when darnel weeds are gathered up during harvest, they will be burned.

What does the darnel seed represent and how is this darnel weed sown?
This passage has puzzled me for a long long long time. My impatience to help the ones i love...with the other tree parables...the darnel being sown by the envious devil who wants to pull towrad himself as many souls as possible. But we can win them back to the Lord with patience. To me these two parables are extremely meaningful and what i learnt is that the mustard seed is very small and yet with time it produces a big strong tree. With time. We gradually grow into that strong tree fighting ''confession and help of Christ in the matter of the Father'' to fight the weeds the darnels that risk suffucating our roots an obtsructing our growth. When it comes to others, like the Archibishop of Florence said today in an interview on TV, we are called as lay people to be strong testimonies of the Faith. Leaders he says that awaken the others. We have to be careful though not to intervene too early or with too much energy or impatience as we risk to damage the good potential. God created everyone in His likeness and they need to see themsleves as such. Let the angels of the Lord separate at the right time the bad from the good as we risk uprooting the good too and damage the tree the souls of the ones we love.

The Parable of the Weeds

He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away. But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also. The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
"He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.'
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

Matthew 13:24-30
