Enter through the narrow gate,

 for the gate is wide and road broad that leads to destruction

And those enter through it are many.

How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.

And those who find it are few.

Matt.: 7:13-14

Lord, call us through the narrow gate,

Destruction’s gate is so broad and wide.

So many on destruction’s path.

Be our shepherd and our guide.

Clear out that destructive path,

Filled with confusing contradictions.

Detach us from greed and lust,

Enslavement and addictions.                               

Clear out things which tempt us,

Clear out all destroyers of virtue.

Remove whatever promotes vice.

Help us seek to serve You.

Help us find the road to life.

Whose gate is narrow with constrictions.

Dear Jesus, show us to this road,

Remove road-blocking restrictions.

We have so many loved ones,

Lost on destruction’s road,

Help them see the narrow gate,

May Your love be their goal.

Help them embrace Your loving laws

Dear Lord, free them from dissent.

Help them find their way to You.

Help them to repent.

Help them find Your path of love.

Time is now running late.

Help them find the narrow way,

Through the narrow gate.
