Jesus and POTUS: Getting into heaven

This weekend promises to offer a variety of homilies in Catholic churches where, in Sunday's gospel, the people ask Jesus:

"Lord, will only a few people be saved?" 

- and this only days after Donald Trump (speaking of the deaths in Russia's war against Ukraine) spoke of his desire to be saved:

"I wanna try and get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons." 

Here's a link to this Sunday's scriptures and some brief commentary on them. 

And here's the question for all of us this weekend:

"Do I want, am I trying, to get to heaven?  How am I doing? What in my life recommends me for heaven? What do I need to let go of to make my way through the narrow gate?"
