The Narrow Gate

This Sunday, the Gospel invites us to reflect on the narrow gate. Jesus reminds us that following the path of the Kingdom requires effort, faithfulness, and a heart open to God’s love. Entering through the narrow gate means choosing the life of the Gospel, with commitment, humility, and service.

*This Sunday we celebrate the birthdays of Kaccyanasie, Sue, and, in advance, that of our dear Father José.* Father José, with words full of gratitude, thanked everyone for the joy, kindness, and affection shown both to him and among the members of the community.

Although Father José’s birthday was celebrated early, *there were many reasons to praise God for all that our community represents in the life of the Church and of its Rector, Father Michael Cooper* Together with all of us, *they work tirelessly for the mission of Jesus in the lives and hearts of people*..

To be signs of Christ to others is our mission. May this Gospel of the narrow gate inspire us to walk together, persevering in faith and love, so that we may be light and hope in the world.

*Evangelio de Este Domingo – La Puerta Estrecha*

Este domingo, el Evangelio nos invita a reflexionar sobre la *puerta estrecha*. Jesús nos recuerda que seguir el camino del Reino requiere esfuerzo, fidelidad y un corazón abierto al amor de Dios. Entrar por la puerta estrecha significa elegir la vida del Evangelio, con compromiso, humildad y servicio.

*Este domingo celebramos el cumpleaños de Kaccyanasie, de Sue y, anticipadamente, el de nuestro querido Padre José.* El Padre José, con palabras llenas de gratitud, agradeció a todos por la alegría, la bondad y el cariño demostrados tanto hacia él como entre los miembros de la comunidad.

Aunque el cumpleaños del Padre José se celebró por adelantado, *no faltaron motivos para alabar a Dios por todo lo que nuestra comunidad representa en la vida de la Iglesia y de su Rector, el Padre Michael Cooper* Junto con todos nosotros, *ellos trabajan incansablemente por la misión de Jesús en la vida y en el corazón de las personas*

Ser signos de Cristo para los demás es nuestra misión. Que este Evangelio de la puerta estrecha nos inspire a caminar juntos, perseverando en la fe y en el amor, para que podamos ser luz y esperanza en el mundo.
