To gain eternal life is to participate to
the fullest degree possible in the very life of God. It is to walk the path of love, surrendering
to grace and allowing this grace to flow through you to the wider world. Is this an easy task? No.
The Gospel of Luke reminds us that the gate is narrow precisely because
it is in the very shape of Jesus Himself, and entrance through the gate
involves conformity to his state of being.
The path of love is traveled by taking up one’s cross every day.
