Dear brother and sisters,

Many people think that they will be fine simply because they love God and believe in Him. As a result, they keep their relationship with God confined to their hearts and words, but does not extend to their thoughts, actions, or daily lives. They claim to love God but fail to spend time with Him, talk to Him, or follow His teachings. They believe in Him when life is easy, when everything goes according to their plans. But they forget that true love for God requires more. It’s not just about feelings or beliefs, but about loving Him with all their hearts, minds, souls, and strength. They forget that a relationship with God, like any relationship, withers without active care and connection. They forget that actions speak louder than words, and that faith is not just something we profess, but something that must be lived out, in every part of our lives.

Many people believe they are good enough simply because they love others and live peacefully with those around them. They assume that as long as they don’t envy, hate, or harm anyone, they are fulfilling their moral duty. Unfortunately, with that mindset, they often excuse themselves from community gatherings and reach out to others only when they are in need. They turn away from those who long for their presence, their care, or their help. They close their eyes, shut their ears, and ignore invitations to support charitable work or contribute to the common good. Though they claim to love others, their actions often reveal otherwise. They consistently put themselves first, prioritizing their own comfort and interests over the needs of others. They forget that true love is not passive or self-centered, but to present, to serve, and to seek the good of all.

In this weekend’s Gospel, the image of the “narrow door” reminds us of the challenge of truly living out the values of the Kingdom of God. This is not about God being restrictive or exclusionary, but about the effort required to enter into a life of perpetual love, grace, and unity with Him. This passage warns us that the path to the Kingdom is not simply about loving God and others, but about loving God above all else, and loving others as ourselves. It is not about what we say or claim to believe, but how we actually live as true disciples of Christ. This passage also reminds us that it is not the easy or comfortable way that leads us through the narrow door, but the way of effort, sacrifice, and surrender that Jesus Himself walks and invites us to follow. True faith is not just about outward expressions of religion, but about a deep, ongoing relationship with God that reflects a life with repentance, commitment, and transformation, and a jour-ney shaped by His will, His plan, His teachings, and His way. Therefore, we should remember that belonging to a fami-ly, a parish, or any religious group is not enough on its own. Entering through the narrow door means embracing this calling wholeheartedly, with both faith and action. What matters is how we care for, love, and support one another as children of God, brothers and sisters in Christ, and members of His universal Church.

Sincerely yours in Jesus Christ and Our Lady of La Vang!

Reverend Kiet Anh Ta.
