The Puzzling Puzzle | SVQ Series S1E22

If God is good and all-powerful, why then does evil and wickedness prevail in the world? The Verse that stood out the most to me from all of today’s Sunday Mass Readings (Mt 13:29) & The Quote from St. Thomas Aquinas that I share in this episode tell us why evil prevails in a world that was created by a good and all-powerful God. The Verse: “He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest.” —Matthew 13:29 The Quote: “Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.” —St. Thomas Aquinas LINKS: Readings for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A. https://www.ewtn.com/daily-readings/2026-07-12#focus=calendar-button [https://www.ewtn.com/daily-readings/2026-07-19#focus=calendar-button] Follow TAMS Shares on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamsshares?igsh=cGplc3ZzNTRpY3B1&utm_source=qr [https://www.instagram.com/tamsshares?igsh=cGplc3ZzNTRpY3B1&utm_source=qr] This is a public episode.
