Repost : THE NARROW GATE

SEPTEMBER 3, 2013

THE NARROW GATE

Sunday before last, in the homily at Holy Mass the priest said Jesus referred to only one gate, the narrow gate, and not to many gates leading to the Kingsom of God, to Heaven.If there were many paths leading to Heaven Jesus would not refer to only one.
 
The priest said that elsewhere in the Gospel Jesus has said that the way to Hell is wide and most people take it- so enter through the narrow gate.
I agreed with him. For me, this priest was saying at Mass in English that the narrow gate is Catholic Faith with the baptism of water(AG 7,CCC 846, Dominus Iesus 20 etc). Catholic faith includes the moral and faith teachings , the Sacraments, the interpretation of the Bible, communion with the present pope, the popes , Church Councils, and saints of the past, communion with those in Heaven and Purgatory.In agreement with Sacred Tradition. Through Catholic Faith we learn to enter the narrow gate and avoid the wide one which leads to eternal death.-Lionel Andrades
