Homily for the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

The heavenly race will not be an easy one. We are reminded of God’s discipline and training. God will train us how to walk through the narrow door proposed by Jesus. This training will be painful, but the goal is to guide us through the right path. These readings invite us to accept God’s training towards inclusivity and acceptance of “others” especially the socially excluded in our midst.
