Gospel
Mark 3:31-35
Who are my mother and my brothers? Those that do the will of God
The mother and brothers of Jesus arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, ‘Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.’ He replied, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking round at those sitting in a circle about him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.’
Reflection
Was Christ being disrespectful when he asked who is my mother and my brothers. The answer is no. What he is trying to say is God must come first. Everyone who put God first are brothers and sisters. Does God come first in your life ?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus in following you we became brothers and sisters. May we continue to share the good news so that we have more brothers and sisters.
Amen
