"Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw your
pearls before swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul
you.
In everything do to others as you would have them do to you;
for this is the law and the prophets. Enter through the narrow gate; for other
gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many
who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that lead to life,
and there are few who find it."
How
do we cultivate openness to God in order to be in union with Him? Father Glenn
Mcdonald mentioned that the gospel reading speaks to us about going through the
narrow gate. Memory plays a difficult role in our lives. We are invited to let
go of our memory of the past. By holding in the past, we are prevented from
going to the narrow gate. We live so much in the past from being in the present
like the parents who create mental images of their children’s past. Parents
should realize to try their best to move forward and forget their children’s memories.
Let us seek openness of the future with the final goal that one day we can
become in union with Him.
