Our true Family!
Jesus was teaching the crowds, then arrived his mother and his brothers who stood outside seeking to talk to him. Hearing that: “Your mother and brothers want to talk to you”, Jesus redefines not only our new family but also the new identity of every Christian. “Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mt.12:50). That is what the Blessed Virgin Mary did. She is the perfect model of one who not only hears the word of God but lives by it. “I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me according to thy word” (cf. Lk. 1:26-38). Mama Mary, help us to listen and obey God’s word. Lord for all our stubbornness and all our iniquities, Lord in your faithful love, have mercy on your people!
Precious Blood of Jesus of Jesus, save us and the whole world!
