Deacon’s Reflection

Enter Via the Narrow Gate!

When people pursue a new business venture, they need to know the guidelines and regulations of that

endeavor. What is the expected success rate, the chances of reaching their ultimate goal of making a profit? We

Christians also are on a venture. We sometimes wonder about our chances of succeeding in reaching our ultimate

goal: to enter the kingdom of Heaven, to see God face-to-face and be with Him for eternity.

We see an example of this in today’s Gospel. While Jesus was teaching in towns along His route to

Jerusalem, someone in the crowd asked Him about the number of people who would be saved. This person was

curious about his chances of entering the kingdom of God.

Jesus’ response was: “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter

but will not be strong enough.” If we listen carefully to today’s Gospel Acclamation, we also hear Jesus giving us

a road map, a travel guide to Heaven: “I am the way, the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the

Father, except through me.” (John 14:6)

God created us out of love. He loves us and wants us to be with Him in His kingdom which is filled with

joy, peace and eternal happiness. But our arrogance, our ego, our wickedness got in the way and we committed

sins. We offended the Lord through our sinfulness. Like loving parents discipline and instruct their misbehaving

children, the Lord disciplined us. The punishment was to separate us from heaven, His Kingdom.

Throughout history, the Lord has never stopped loving us. He wanted and waited for us to return to Him.

He used the Prophets to send His messages of love, His guidelines and instructions to His children. Finally, He

sent His only Son to die for our salvation. He wills for all to be saved.

Jesus does not try to scare us or make us afraid; instead He warns us that in order to be saved we must

accept the challenge of that narrow gate.

We must put forth our best efforts and stay true to our commitment.

We must be strong and reject the wide gate that leads to destruction.

We must be honest with ourselves, change our sinful ways and return to God.

We must have the courage and discipline to practice and live our faith regardless of the judgment and

opinions of others.

As we strive to enter the narrow gate, we ask God to strengthen our faith in trials and temptations. May

we trust in His promises and recognize His guiding presence in our journey to reach our ultimate goal: Heaven.

There we will be filled with joy, peace and eternal happiness.
