Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Doing God’s Will” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to the crowd, “Anyone who does My Father’s Will is My brother, sister and mother.” Ponder on, “Jesus is assuring us that when we live His Father’s Will, we are also developing our personal relationship with Him, as our Saviour. This is because Jesus and His Father are One, divine Unity, in the Holy Spirit.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 12: 46-50
Jesus was speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him.
But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, ‘Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’
