Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear parish family and friends of St. Julia,

Luke’s Gospel 13:22-30 this weekend reminds us:  “Strive to enter through the narrow gate.”  There is always hope as we keep on striving.  It is when we stop striving and stop seeking God that the way forward begins to block us.

So we can think of the message of this Sunday as encouragement to keep on striving to be faithful to God, even when we can see and know our own failures.  It is as if God Himself is telling us:  Do not give up hope!  Trust in the Lord forever.

Keep safe, and may God bless each of you and those that you love.
 
Fr. Greg
