Today’s first reading continues from yesterday’s discussion on love. Yesterday it was wives and husbands. Today, Paul focuses on children/parents and slaves/masters. Everybody should just love, honor, respect each other. Amen!

In the gospel, the crowd is hanging onto every word Jesus has to say. One in the crowd asked how many were to go to heaven. Jesus said to enter through the narrow gate. The first will be last and the last will be first. My commentary said to increase your faith through prayer and reading scripture. You don’t want to be left behind, not chosen. Amen!
Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts!
