Twenty-First Sunday in
Ordinary Time
As we reflect on the Gospel for this
weekend, we may be asking ourselves, “Will
I be saved?” It takes strength and strong faith to enter through the
“narrow gate”. Too often we find that we are facing a very
difficult decision in our life concerning issues that are truly asking us to
discern whether or not we are going to put God first in our lives or something
else other than God. We might be asking ourselves, “Do you mean
God wants me to choose between this special situation in my life and God?”
The answer is YES! (And it may
not be easy. It may be something that is very difficult challenge for us).
Let us pray today that we might receive the grace
and the will to answer the call we all have from God to do what he requires as we walk that road of
life to the “narrow gate.”
