July 24, 2012 – Matthew 12:46-48-50 - The True Kindred of Jesus


"But to the one who had told him this, Jesus replied, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And pointing to his disciple, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, sister, and mother."

Father Glenn McDonald relayed that the gospel’s theme is about the role of mothers and brothers. The gospel is telling us how to be a good mother or brother of Christ as members of the church and followers of God’s will. We are invited to reflect on the life of Mary as mother of Christ and know our obligations as a mother of our children in terms of love, forgiveness, trust, and openness.
