When asked who will be saved, Jesus issues a call to strive toward "the narrow way".
God has given a great gift of faith to us, as He has to people throughout the world, through which He bestows His abundant mercy and love on us.
But so great a gift compels something of us, that we work to uphold it, making much of it.
Even in the midst of discipline in the troubles of life, God works to strengthen our faith.
And as we put faith into action, it comes alive as we join together as one people upholding our faith.
It was a faith I saw alive in the community of the St. Teresa of Avila Roman Catholic Student Center at Valparaiso University when I attended Mass there for the first time 10 years ago, and it spurred me on in faith for the four years of college and beyond.
