FROM OUR RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
The Responsorial Psalm this morning – We hear Psalm 129: which is saying, I cry out to You, Lord, from the depths of my despair, seeking Your mercy and redemption, trusting in Your forgiveness and promise to deliver me from all my sins.
FROM OUR SECOND READING
The Second Reading states that, We speak from faith, confident that as God raised Jesus, He will also raise us. Despite physical decline, our spirits renew, focusing on eternal, unseen glory.
FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
The Gospel passage of today: Jesus teaches that his true family includes those who do God’s will, despite accusations from scribes and concerns from his biological family. He emphasizes unity and the power of faith over division.
CONCLUSION
The liturgical readings of today teach us that;
1. As Believers we are encouraged to stay strong in our faith despite hardships.
2. Jesus teaches that true family is based on doing God’s will. Spiritual kinship is more important than blood relations.
3. Jesus faces opposition from His family and religious leaders. He remains focused on His mission and God’s will.
4. Jesus emphasizes that those who follow God are His true family. Obedience to God’s commands makes one part of Jesus’ family.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone.
