Jesus is asked if  “only a few people” will be saved in today’s gospel. Fr Paul, Fr Greg, and Fr Charlie each explore Jesus’ response. Their homilies have one common focus: Getting us through the narrow gate. Their efforts today as well as countless others over the years as our pastors, mentors and friends have greatly improved our chances to be among those “few.” Thank you, thank you, thank you!*
