Tuesday of 16th Week, Year II: reflection
Theme: How to become
an intimate member of Christ's
Family

Reading: Mt
12:46-50
Becoming a
brother, sister, cousin or a close relative of Jesus is something no one would
like to miss. We all know the privileges that family members and close
relatives of rich and famous people enjoy on earth.
We know
that to become the brother, sister, cousin and relative of someone, we have to
share a bloodline with the person. In today’s gospel reading, Jesus lifts this requirement
of bloodline as a condition of being a member of his own family. He, rather,
throws it open to all men and women, and demands doing the will of God the
Father as the only condition required. He said: “whoever does the will of my
Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
Thus, to
all of us who can’t wait to be a member of the family of Christ, the door has
been flung open All we need to do is to make doing the will of God our hobby
every moment of our life. We are fortunate to have received this open door from
Christ, let us not throw away this precious opportunity.
May success
be yours this Tuesday. Amen.
