How do we survive in a world as ugly as that of 1914? From where do we find our hope? Only in the Cross, and the Risen Christ.

Homily for Sunday 23 August 2025. Jesus is asked a question that preoccupies many of us: will many be saved, or few? He answers without answering, saying instead 'strive to enter by the narrow gate' - the narrow gate is humility, penitence, and following His commandments. We are fitted to go through the narrow gate especially through the sacrament of Confession.
