Message of the Week

Strive to Enter Through the Narrow Door

The Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus warns His followers not to think they can do the minimum and enter heaven.

They need to strive to discern their God-given mission, then they must pursue it.

Reception of the Eucharist at Mass may be a passive following, if not accompanied by an aggressive attempt to live the gospel and build His kingdom.

Strength and persistence are necessary to pass through the narrow gate.

Are you committed to taking the difficult path that is required, passing the comfortable, secure, familiar one?
