Matthew 7:14
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Making one’s way through a narrow passage demands concentration and perseverance. It means avoiding the distractions of broader and more attractive pathways. However, narrowing down the many distractions and temptations that we encounter throughout our lives leads us to the height and the breadth and the depth of God.
Jesus invites us to a way of celebration,
meeting and feasting with the humble and poor.
Let us walk his way with joy.
Jesus beckons us to a way of risk,
letting go of our security.
Let us walk his way with joy.
Jesus challenges us to listen to the voices
of those who have nothing to lose.
Let us walk his way with joy.
Jesus points us to a way of self-giving,
where power and status are overturned.
Let us walk his way with joy.
Jesus calls us to follow the way of the cross,
where despair is transformed
by the promise of new life.
Let us walk his way with joy.
