Entry Requirements
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a 1989 science fiction comedy film, wherein an invention by a scientist accidentally shrinks the kids to miniature sizes. Perhaps it is we adults who need to shrink ourselves, and consciously so, if we are to pass through the “narrow door.” If our souls have become too obese feasting on the “world” (in the Johannine sense), we might want to fast a bit so as to be to fit the size of the entry door to the Kingdom. For our souls to reach the manageable size, as we saw yesterday, we do not need superhuman aerobics: it is enough to do the little things in life with faithfulness. Paul suggests a few such simple exercises: honor your parents, be a good example to your children, do your duties with commitment, do good, respect one another, fear the Lord. In other words, take care of the Commandments, and the Beatitudes will be yours.
