While Jesus was speaking to the crowds,
his mother and his brothers appeared outside,
wishing to speak with him.
Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside,
asking to speak with you.”
But he said in reply to the one who told him,
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said,
“Here are my mother and my brothers.
For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father
is my brother, and sister, and mother.” MT 12:46-50
Is Jesus stretching His hands out towards you saying, “Here are my mother and my brothers”? Are you doing the will of the Father? What is the will of the Father? Listen to what Jesus teaches. Be holy. Keep the commandments. Love. Pray. Fight the Devil. Be a servant. Share. Forgive. Have mercy on others as the Father has mercy on you. Receive God’s grace through the Sacraments. Bring others to Christ. Deny yourself. Carry your daily crosses. Be the best you you can be.
Today’s challenge: Do the Will of the Father.
Be a servant, become a saint!
