📖 TODAY'S GOSPEL | June 23, 2026 Matthew 7:6, 12-14 Jesus gives us three powerful teachings today: ✨ Be discerning with what is sacred. ✨ Treat others as you would want to be treated. ✨ Choose the narrow road that leads to life. The wide road is easy and popular, but it does not lead to lasting life. The narrow road is often difficult. It asks for forgiveness, sacrifice, obedience, and faithfulness. Yet it is the only road that leads to true life. Today's Gospel reminds us that discipleship is not always easy—but it is always worth it. 📖 "Enter through the narrow gate... for the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life." — Matthew 7:13-14 🙏 Prayer: Lord Jesus, give us wisdom to treasure what is holy, charity to live the Golden Rule, and courage to walk the narrow road that leads to life. Amen. 🕊 Reflection: Which road am I choosing each day—the easy road or the road that leads to life? #DailyGospel #Matthew7 #GoldenRule #NarrowGate #CatholicFaith #RiseWithTheWord
