Reflection -- Gospel reading 23 June 2015

Today's readings from Mass include a segment of the new law, the sermon on the mount.  Jesus says:
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.


One may ask "What is the narrow gate?"
But a more important question is "Who is the narrow gate?"

Jesus says at the last supper:
I am the way and the truth* and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
It is Christ who is the narrow gate.  Let us enter through him into the hands of God, where no torment shall touch us.
