GOD’S FAMILY

Tuesday of the Sixthteenth Week in Ordinary Time Year C Matthew 12:46-50 Jesus identifies his mother, sisters and brothers as those who do the will of God the Father. “Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Friends, doing God’s will is belongingness to God’s family. To be with God is the most perfect belongingness. Jesus promises that his family would be determined by obedience—not blood, not genealogy, not politics, not power, and not money. Friends, do the will of God. The will of God is the best! Follow it and experience no regrets. Amazing things happen when the family of God bands together. Suffice it to say, we are related because of faith bonded through the Sacrament of Baptism. I am so glad that I am part of God’s family. As brothers and sisters our top priority is to put God’s will into concrete actions. Let us demonstrate God’s command by doing and fulfilling His precepts. If we claim that we belong to God’s family but not obeying His will, we are liar. ”Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” If we do His will, He will do everything for us. The will of God is the best! Follow it and experience no regrets. Amazing things happen when the family of God bands togethere. Blessings Fr. Jhack
