Learning to Walk the Narrow Path.
The purpose of this website is to help you grow in understanding of the path that Christ has set before you. Part of that is learning about what Christ said, the Church and the many issues that face Christians these days, ideally to entice you to carry out the word of the Lord with love and compassion, motivating you to do the things that will satisfy your need to contribute positively in this world – so you can start living your life the way the deep parts of your heart urge you to. If you are not a Christian, then this site will answer many of your questions about Christianity and at the least guide you in certain ways on how to live a moral life, enriched with love.
You are here to not take the easy way through life, but the right way. You are here to take up your cross with Christ and walk that narrow path to life. As Christ said, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.” Matthew 7:13-14. This is the goal that we must each set for ourselves, knowing that Christ wants us to succeed, and that he will aid us in our attempt.
This site will help you gain knowledge on theology of the Catholic faith, Church doctrine, life and morality and help you find resources to aid you along the way. Though we must remember that it is God that we must ask for help to accomplish this goal. It is He who we must pray to and ask for the strength and courage to live the way we should. Without His grace, we are capable of nothing.
Again, living the narrow path is not easy, but not entirely impossible. “No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he willl also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13. Even so, in life we all make mistakes and sometimes really big mistakes, but thankfully Christ is always there to give us a second chance or a third or a fourth… The important thing to remember is that when we make a mistake that we do not let it keep us down, so that we may try again.
