Tuesday January 28th: Family

“Who are my mother and brothers?”

Mark 3:31-35

For a long time, this scripture had me conflicted. I thought,”How could Jesus diss His mother, and break the 4th Commandment which was the only one with a promise???

Earlier in this chapter, in verses 20&21, it says that Jesus’ family was so worried because He didn’t stop His work to even have a meal. They came to take Him away because they cared about His health. However, much like the scene when He was 12, when they found Him in the temple, Jesus was about His Father’s business.

Jesus knew that He had 3 years for His ministry, and He had to press hard. He needed to complete His mission and prepare His disciples to carry on.

Behold, we too can choose to say “Yes” to the service of God, like Mother Mary. We too can be brothers, sisters, apostles, disciples, and saints; because He said those who do His Father’s will, are also part of His family.

Through us, may His will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
