In the Gospel for the Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time C, Jesus teaches about the doorway to salvation. “Someone asked him, ‘Lord, will only a few people be saved?’ He answered them, ‘Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough’ ” (Luke 13: 23-24). Disciples of Jesus keep on the “straight and narrow” by loving God and neighbor. Like squeezing through a narrow passageway, doing the loving thing can be a struggle. Love demands commitment. Loving spouses, children, friends, and even strangers requires determined effort. Jesus wants us to persevere in following his example of love. How do you experience the narrow gate of loving God and others?
