21^st Sunday in Ordinary Time 21^st August: Focus: We are to strive to enter through the narrow gate, that we might be judged worthy of entering into eternal life. – Jesus teaches in the Gospel that we are to strive to enter through the narrow gate, that we might be judged worthy of sharing eternal life in heaven. By this, Jesus means we should endeavour to travel lightly, unencumbered by attachments to things of this world. This will allow us to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus, & our feet planted on the path of salvation
