Serving the Word: Mk 3: 31-35

TUESDAY 28 JANUARY 2020

Mark 3, 31-35:
“Jesus asks them, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers? And looking at those sitting around, He says, ‘These are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.

Jesus likes to be family and be surrounded by people all the time.
But his family is not made up of administrative data or data from a civil registry.
Not even the bonds of flesh or blood.
His family is made up of all those who enter the sphere of Jesus’ gaze.
His family is made up of all those who are around him and who cross their glance with the glance of Jesus and, together, direct it to the Father to know his will.
Fulfilling the Father’s will is what makes family according to Jesus.
Because the Father’s will is that we all respect each other, help each other, love each other, value each other and not hurt each other.
Thus we will be brothers and sisters of Jesus.
Good day.
