The narrow gate....

Sunday's Gospel tells us to enter by way of the narrow gate.  There are many interpretations of this passage, I'm sure, but I just heard one that really makes a lot of sense to me....perhaps because I need to DO it.

The idea was that to enter the gate...I must first be unencumbered....not a lot of baggage, or that "stuff" will burden me, will "widen" me so that I do not "fit" through the gate that is narrow.

So the message is GET RID OF YOUR BAGGAGE!  The variety of baggage!  Whatever is getting in the way.

Can you identify your baggage?  Good luck...that's the first step.
