Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Luke 13:22-30

The “narrow door” to God is difficult to enter. It is the way of limitless love, unconditional forgiveness, sacrificial selflessness; it can only be entered by letting go of our control, our pride, our self-absorption, our cynicism. But Jesus promises that anyone willing to struggle through the “narrow door” will be welcomed into the eternal dwelling place of his Father.
