DAILY PRAYER

“I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture”  (Jn 10:7-9).

We all want the doors wide open to us, so that we can pass through unimpeded.

Today, there is an avalanche of moral dissolution that is coming in the wake of ignoring the precepts of the Laws of Moses and of the Holy Gospel.  It is not just some social law in which we have been inculcated… Rather it is an ingrained understanding about the dignity of man in his relationship to Almighty God.

Today, immorality is actually celebrated!  Just look at the abortion rights activists!  They even get positive press coverage.  The same holds true for new abortion drugs, contraception devices, extremely revealing dress, live and let live campaigns, really lured lives of the “stars,” etc….

Passions that devolve into whim are wide open doors that will lead us directly to a situation without remedy: “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” (Mt 7:13-14).

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (Jn 14:6).

Reflection and commentary

Psalm 73:28 “As for me, to be near God is my good, to make the Lord GOD my refuge. I shall declare all your works.”
