Reflection
from the desk of the Pastor
In
today’s gospel somebody in the crowd asked Jesus this question: “Lord, will
only a few people be saved?” Jesus did not give the number of those who will be
saved. He even did not really answer the man’s question, but he just said:
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate…”. In other words, he is answering a
more important question, “How can I be saved?”. He is also giving us a chance
to each one of us to avail of the salvation. Anyway, God is in charge of final
judgement, why do we try to decide who will be saved? We as disciples of Jesus,
must not be judgmental about who we think will go through the narrow gate. Our
vision of God, we must see with a wide-angle lens that God’s salvation is open
to all. God’s salvation is unbounded, and it reaches out to those whom we may
not only distrust but also sometimes even despise.
Feast of St. Dominic: A Great Success
Once again, I extend my
sincere thanks to all our parishioners for your generous support in making the
feast of St. Dominic a grand success. It was indeed a historical moment for St.
Dominic parish community to have the beautiful statue of St. Dominic blessed
and installed. Thanks for coming in big numbers and displaying the great sense
of communitarian spirit.
