Learning is a life-long process, and everyday we acquire new knowledge about ourselves and about the world around us.
As much as there are numerous resources available, there is also the need to discern the basis of what is presented.
From the teachings of Jesus, what is presented to us is the narrow door of life.
That may tell us that there are no short-cuts or easy-going roads or wide-open doors.
The lessons of life are learnt through the Cross of Christ, which shows us the way of life.
When the 1st reading talks about the parent and children relationship, it goes back to the Commandment where it is stated that children are to honour and respect their parents.
But it also balances that by telling the parents not to drive their children to resentment, but to bring the children up by correcting them and guiding them as the Lord does.
In all that, we are learning and in the knowledge that we are acquiring, let us always remember to see if the foundation is on the teachings of the Bible and on Gospel values.
God grants His wisdom to those who follow the way of the Cross and try to enter into life by the narrow door.
