    The document discusses Jesus' teaching about entering the narrow door to salvation. It notes that Jews at the time believed only they would be saved, but Jesus warns that salvation requires struggling and opening one's heart to him through love and forgiveness. While Jerusalem was their physical destination with Jesus, he meant the true purpose of life is finding salvation. The document encourages asking Mary for help in making the journey of faith successfully rather than worrying how many will be saved. It concludes with announcements about church collections and maintenance.

    Luke reminds us once again this week that we are on the “way to Jerusalem”

    with Jesus. This means that the guiding principle in our lives ought to be the
    loving concern that took Jesus himself to the climax of his career as he gave his
    life for us in Jerusalem. Though it would be nice if we could all visit the
    modern city of Jerusalem, this is not what Luke had in mind. He is thinking
    instead about the true purpose of this human life that God has given us, that is
    Jerusalem in our life, our destination.

    As we make this spiritual journey, we must inevitably ask the question posed in
    today’s gospel: “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” This question is
    understandable since the Jews in the time of Jesus believed that as members of the
    Chosen People of God, they have the certain guarantee of salvation. Consequently,
    not only were they complacent, but also they looked down on the Gentiles, the non-
    Jews. They were too proud and presumptuous so as to exclusively arrogate to
    themselves the gift of salvation. For them, only few will be saved.

    Jesus answers our question with words that dispel any smugness that we may
    have been entertaining: “Strive to enter through the narrow door.” Jesus does
    not mention a tribe or people of a certain location but he says about a struggling
    persons who puts in mind about struggling “pangsog, pangkamot, panugakod
    aron musulod ta sa balay sa Ginoo”. As we know to love as he did will not be
    easy and Jesus’ door is narrow because he asks us to open our hearts to him, to
    recognize that we are sinners who need of his salvation, his forgiveness and
    love. Jesus warns us about the terrible disappointment in store for those who
    have not taken his teaching seriously. They will discover, only when it is too
    late, that they have not made room in their lives for the One who alone can
    bring them to that ultimate joyful banquet that our Creator has prepared for us
    in his kingdom.

    What a pity it will be if we finally see what life is all about only when it is too
    late! But there is still time to resist the powerful distractions that dazzle us and
    tell us how much more we need when only one thing is really necessary, that is,
    to love our gracious and generous God and to be kind and forgiving toward his
    precious people. The question today should change, not how many will enter
    but “Lord, am I among those who will make this journey successfully?”

    Let us ask mama Mary, Door of heaven to help us cross threshold of faith and
    to let her Son transform our life, as he transformed hers to bring everyone the
    joy of the Gospel.

    Have a blessed week, May God protect you always!
