Jesus said to his
disciples: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces. “Do
to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the Law and the
Prophets. “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road
broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How
narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find
it are few.”

Reflection:
What is the difference
between a narrow gate and a wide gate? It’s hard to enter the narrow gate, you
may have to twist your body so that you could pass through it. How about the
wide gate? You simply can walk through it no twisting and no discomfort
whatsoever.
For example, in
fulfilling your Sunday Holy Mass obligation, in abhorring sin or in reading the
Holy Bible. You may not be comfortable of doing this because this
requires effort and time. Yet if you dare do this it will lead you to Jesus and
it will lead you to know more about the many truths concerning the church.
If you want to find the
true meaning and purpose of your life and if you want to know Jesus more
deeply. You have to pass thru this narrow gate for this is the way that would
lead you to a life of purpose with Jesus. Forget the wide gate which consist of
the many sinful worldly enjoyment, it will lead you nowhere it will even lead
you to destruction.
Will you dare enter this
narrow gate? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
