Matthew 7:6, 12-14
“Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.
So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Homily:
Only One but you, knows your true value – God. Giving all of you to anyone but Him devalues who you are.
Give self to Him and you will receive an understanding of self (you will receive self).
It is not easy to give all of self away, but that is the way to find all of self. Few find self. Few find peace. Few find freedom. Few find joy. Few find nothing.
“Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life” – Jerzy Gregorek
