“Strive to enter through

the narrow gate; many

will attempt to enter but

will not be strong

enough” The monks of the Skellig

Michael monastery, built in the

sixth century off the coast of Ireland, would

have understood what Jesus meant by the hard

way and the narrow gate. Jesus never promises

an easy, comfortable life. It is not for the faint-

hearted; for it is an active, heart-pumping

adventure, as we throw off things that weigh us

down and wrong choices that entangle us. We

race TOWARD what God has in store. He

promises that if we persist, seeking His will in

perseverance and faith, it will end with

everlasting life in God’s Kingdom.
