Are You In the Game? | Fr. Joshua Fons

As Football season approaches, Father Joshua Fons challenges us to consider whether, in our Faith, we are just a spectator or whether we are in the game. In the Gospel this Sunday, August 24th, 2025,  we hear Jesus asked about salvation: "Will only a few people be saved?" Rather than give us a percentage, or a theory, treating us like spectators, Jesus gives us a command: Strive. Strive to enter by the narrow gate. This is personal. Each of us is called to strive to enter by the narrow gate. There are no spectators in this. We need to get in the game.
