Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time August 20/21, 2016 The Gospel reading today starts with a question: Lord, will only a few people be saved? Jesus offers only a simple reply: Strive to enter through the narrow gate. Many will try to enter and will not be able. Good stewards know there is only one, narrow gate. Not everything will fit. This narrow gate has no room for our accomplishments. No room for our money. No room for our possessions. No room for anything else but those who ve been good stewards of the Gospel. We can t custom build our own gates either. There is only one, narrow gate that happens to be open for a time, but for how long? What is our plan of action to get through that gate?
