Isaiah 66:18-21;  Luke 13:22-30
On this 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time, the readings are filled with both incredibly good news and incredibly hard news.  And both are true.  Everyone is invited.  All are welcome.  Nations from the north, south, east and west will stream toward the Lord's holy mountain.  All peoples will be gathered in the Kingdom!  But the way is narrow and the gate is small and the work is hard.  How can both be true at the same time?
