Narrow is the Way..........

‘This saying which is written in the Gospel: “Let him who has no sword, sell his mantle and buy one,” (Luke 22:36) means this: let him who is at ease give it up and take the narrow way.’

St. Poems

Narrow is the Way

How often do we hear someone say, “Well, take it easy,” or “Don’t work too hard.” We have grown accustomed to the idea that life should be easy, that we have every right to enjoy ourselves, ironically, it is this pervasive attitude of 'taking it easy’ that creates such difficulties for us as Christians. The American way is “the good life.” Christ, however, has called us to the narrow path.
