SUNDAY, AUGUST 24, 2025Sunday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of St. Bartholomew, Apostle Memorial of St. Jeanne Antide Thouret, Foundress of Sisters of Charity PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “STRIVE TO ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR”[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: LUKE 13 : 22 - 30Jesus passed through towns and villages,teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.Someone asked him,"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 enterbut will not be strong enough.After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,then will you stand outside knocking and saying,'Lord, open the door for us.'He will say to you in reply,'I do not know where you are from.And you will say,'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.'Then he will say to you,'I do not know where you are from.Depart from me, all you evildoers!'And there will be wailing and grinding of teethwhen you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacoband all the prophets in the kingdom of Godand you yourselves cast out.And people will come from the east and the westand from the north and the southand will recline at table in the kingdom of God.For behold, some are last who will be first,and some are first who will be last."Reflection by Tree Colayco : Member-Ligaya ng Panginoon.
