2 Kings 19:9-11,14-21,31-36
Psalm 47(48):2-4,10-11
Matthew 7:6,12-14
Enter through the narrow gate and approach others with the love of God.
Jesus encourages us in today’s gospel to strive to enter through the narrow gate, recognizing that the path to perdition is often broader and more inviting.
In our contemporary world, it appears that the route leading away from righteousness is expanding, while the path of virtue is becoming more constrained. The choice remains in our hands.
Are self-love and greed influencing your thoughts and actions? Do you demonstrate humility and responsibility as a child of God? Are you dwelling in places of darkness or evil, and perhaps find it difficult to find your way out?
– Consider choosing Jesus to attain eternal life.
May we choose each day to be the one who remains faithful, renew our covenant with God daily, and follow the path that leads to life. Amen.
