Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

The word discipline has a negative connotation for many people, but discipline for the sake of our relationship with God and others is a perfect exercise of wisdom. Discipline is not primarily about pain and suffering, but about habitually practicing behaviors and choices that lead to a full and abundant life in God. 

This Sunday's Gospel addresses one of the biggest concerns people may have: who will be saved? Given the complexity of the question Jesus challenges His disciples to strive to enter through the narrow gate. May God assist us in our journey, which for man is impossible, but for God all things are possible.
