Day 318: The Narrow Gate, Lost Sheep, and Prodigal Son — The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: https://tinyurl.com/yhh9uqrc

Fr. Mike confronts the hard truth Jesus preaches in today's readings: Many people will ultimately choose hell over heaven. While this can be deeply distressing, Fr. Mike reminds us to focus on Jesus's directive to each one of us: "[You] Strive to enter through the narrow gate." In the second part of today's commentary, Fr. Mike reflects on two of Jesus' most well-known parables: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Prodigal Son. Today's readings are Luke 13-16 and Proverbs 26:10-12.
