THE NARROW DOOR

PRAYER PAUSE


Wednesday 26 October 2016


THE NARROW DOOR


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Try your best to enter by the narrow door, because, I tell you many will try to enter and will not succeed.” (Luke 13:20-30)



Reflection. There are people struggling as best they can to help migrantsmaking a precarious journey across the Mediterranean, rescuing them from fragile boats and giving them food and medicine and safety. Some of these people have no desire to be part of any church but we can say they are entering heaven by the narrow door because they are showing such compassion to their brothers and sisters in distress. And then there are others …. Augustine of Hippo used to say, “There are many now outside the Church who are really in, and many inside who are really out.”   
 

Prayer. Lord, help us to sincerely reach out to others wh o are in any kind of need. Amen
