The Narrow Gate

"Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough" (Lk 13:24). Jesus challenges us to take "the road less traveled", that is to follow in his footsteps, for he is indeed, the narrow gate. Do what he did, love as he loved, forgive as he forgave, show oompassion and welcome to ALL. This is the answer he gave to the querry, "Lord will only few people be saved?" (Lk 13: 23). Jesus didn't give a direct answer in numbers or quantity, but made it clear that doing nothing, wouldn't work. He put the responsibility on us. Sr. Genevieve Glenn puts it poetically: "The narrow gate stands open where His feet have gone before; The way is steep and marked with blood, For as he walked he bore Upon his shoulders chafing wood To light the living fire That leads us up the road he took To reach our heart's desire."
