In today’s Word of Hope for Tuesday, June 23rd (the 12th Week in Ordinary Time), Father Jordan DeGuire explores one of the most profound questions believers have asked since the time of the first disciples: "Who can be saved?"
Standing in the chapel of St. Catherine of Siena House in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Fr. Jordan discusses the tension between Jesus’ warning about the "narrow gate" and the comforting truth that God desires no one to be lost. How do we balance the fear of destruction with the hope of the Kingdom?
Learn why salvation is not just something we do, but something God does in us—and how we are called to cooperate by conforming our lives to Christ.
**Key Takeaways:**
* Understanding the "Narrow Gate" vs. the "Broad Road."
* Avoiding the traps of despair and complacency.
* Recognizing Jesus as the Gate to eternal life.
* How to respond to God’s invitation to the Kingdom.
