Narrow Blinded?

Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. —Luke 13:24 NAB

The wide road stretched before me and appeared pleasant. I could see clearly ahead and there were jovial companions alongside me.

But I noticed a narrow gate off to the side. The lighting was dim and I saw a distant light but knew not what walking this path would hold.

The Heart of Christ beckoned from deep within that narrow gate, inviting my trust and saying, “Fear not.”

So, I took the first step...

Prayer

Lord of life, show me Your way. Help me to be sensitive to Your leading and strengthen me in the way everlasting.

Quote

In order to join God's gathering, we must "strive to enter through the narrow gate"

—not by our own unaided efforts, but through saying YES to the relationship Christ wants to have with us. //Rev. Sebastian White, O.P., editor of The Magnificat

Thought

The greatest of journeys begins with a single step.
