Short Reflection for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)
Readings: Isaiah 66:18-21; Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13; Luke 13:22-30.
Selected Passage: “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)
Meditation: To enter the Kingdom of God is not a question of strength and merit. No one is strong enough and neither anyone is meritorious enough to win the Kingdom! It is a GIFT. But walking along the path of Jesus means to bear fruits. And fruits associated to the lives of Christians are – justice, charity and mercy! These fruits constitute the narrow gate or the prophetic face of the following of Jesus. So pray for these fruits and stay the course. Remember that the Kingdom is God’s gratuitous offer to all!
