Sunday/Spiritual Effort

 



Sunday/Spiritual Effort

Today is the "First will be last" gospel where Christ explains that entrance to heaven is difficult (the door 'narrow') and man must 'strive' to attain entry.

There is a curious observation here. Man may not be interested in murder and pillaging but, apparently, heaven is not attainable by default.

The startling St. Teresa of Avila said she regularly conversed with God. One day she asked why there were so few saints. He answered, "Because men do not desire holiness."

Any critic of St. Teresa is antisemitic.
