Word for Sunday August 21.

“Someone asked Jesus ‘Lord will only a few people be saved?’ He answered them ‘Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many I tell you will attempt to enter, but will not be strong enough.” Luke 13:23-24. St. Augustine said, “Let us understand that God is a physician, and that suffering is a medicine, not a punishment for damnation.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, apart from You, we are not strong enough to enter through the narrow gate.  Carry us on Your back Lord, like the children we are – and grant that may we show many others the way, by our complete trust in You. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry
