Trusting in God's salvation.

Ezekiah, in the first reading, teaches us that true wisdom is to rely on God's even in the most dreadful moments of our lives. The Lord is our rescuer! Handing things unto Him is the best solutions of all.

In the Gospel passage, Jesus invites us to "strive to enter through the narrow door." Jesus is the narrow door because he the Way, the Truth and the Life. While this way is narrow as we know the difficulties to welcome and follow Jesus and his message in our world today, the narrow door is open to everyone. Anyone who lives a life that accepts the cross, a life of prayer, faithfulness, love, forgiveness, service, and self-sacrifice as opposed to a life of pride and arrogance, laziness and greed, is taking the narrow road that lead to the fulness of life.

Holy Mary, Mother of Christ, help us to trust in God as you did, especially in helpless times.

Pax Christi!
