Jesus “looking around at those seated in the circle [he] said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’” None of us will become Jesus’ relative by only memorizing all the laws and commandments. We won’t become Jesus’ brothers nor sisters even if we spent all our time praying, saying rosaries, and going to church every day. Those things are important, but not sufficient. And Jesus is being very clear today - we can become Jesus’ relatives only when we fulfill the will of God. And God’s will is to love Him and our neighbor, not in words only but by expressing that love by our actions. Are you Jesus’ sister? Are you His brother?
