“Who are my mother and my brothers?” (Mark 3:33)

Living the Gospel this Week

“Who are my mother and my brothers?” (Mark 3:33)

Jesus redefines family. We are bound by faith and not by Blood ties. Jesus wants us to transcend ourselves from purely human to always seek the will of God. “Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said,

“Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3:34-35)

Let us show respect and love to Mary, the mother of Jesus and our mother this week by visiting a grotto, and saying a rosary for the family! (Luke 2:51)

Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us in becoming a citizen of the broader family, the Church. We are citizen of the new Kingdom; the kingdom of Christ!
