DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage
Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God’s Family” – Spiritual: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed that the deepest relationships we have is our union with God. This is why Jesus praised His Mother in public. She lived His Father’s Will with the most perfect fidelity. Ponder on, “Is our love for God our greatest love? Or, do we have ‘other greater loves” like money, self-glory?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 3:31-35
The mother and brothers of Jesus arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, ‘Look, your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.’
He replied, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking at those sitting in a circle round him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.’
