Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus’ Mother” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Mary was looking for her Son, whom she loved deeply. However, unlike all mothers, Mary is the “Perfect Mother” for Jesus, who is not only her Son, but also the Son of God. Ponder on, “Jesus affirmed this truth, when He praised Mary for being the only woman who lived His Father’s Will perfectly!”
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.’
