+ The message in today’s gospel passage sums everything up in just
a few words: Jesus states that “his mother and brothers are
those who hear the word of God and act on it!” His entire purpose and message
are found here. Jesus is after all God the Father’s own word, made into a human
being: therefore, Jesus entire divine/human being is nothing but “God’s Speech,
Authentic and True” – everything he says, everything he does, just his actual
presence in human history, in the scene that he is in today, speaks
tremendously of GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL, UNFATHOMABLE LOVE for each and every
person ever created: and yes, that means you and me.
And so, any kind of response
at all that he can elicit, is not only greatly appreciated by him, but is
essential to our own salvation and the reception of innumerable amounts of
gifts and blessings he has in store for those who simply believes he is who he
said he is, and let it affect their daily lives, words and actions.
Putting into practice what we
can glean from the Divine Son of God – not only is a good thing – but it
actually makes us related to him in a very intimate sort of way: as close as a
mother, or a brother or a sister would be.
May we today show ourselves
true members of the Royal Family of God, Himself, and go out of our way, in
ways small or even great, and help other people in a variety of special and
loving ways!
Blessed
are those who hear the word of God and observe it!
