John 14:6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No
man cometh to the Father, but by me.
"The Narrow Way" has never been popular,
but it has always been true.
It is diametrically opposed to modern ideas like:
"I'm OK - You're OK"
The "Narrow Way" means, simply: If we CHOOSE to ignore the grace
and loving guidance God freely makes available to us through His
Son, Jesus, His Holy Catholic Church and His Word, the Bible and we
CHOOSE to do things our own way, we shouldn't blame God IF our
journey is fraught with insurmountable difficulties and we end up in
HELL!"
I leave you with my best wishes for all God's Blessings in your life, along with a
parable, a caution, which summarizes in just a few words, the divine will of God
and the main point of all the Gospels:
Love (the one, true) God …
Love Your Neighbor.
The ONE cannot be accomplished
without the OTHER.
Luke 16:19 - 31 There was a certain rich man who
was clothed in purple and fine linen and feasted
sumptuously every day. And there was a certain
beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of
sores, Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell
from the rich man's table. And no one did give him:
moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it
came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man
also died: and he was buried in hell.
