TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

"My mother and my brethren

are those who hear the word of God

and do it."

.

– Luke 8:21 (RSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Imagine being able to share in Jesus’ life

as intimately as if we were members of His family.

Well, we do become part of the Lord’s close family

if we follow Him,

listen to Him,

and, importantly, obey His Law and do His will.

.

When we truly recognise Jesus

as the Son of the Living God, our Creator,

our bond with Him becomes so much stronger

than that with our natural family.

.

Our bond with Christ is fulfilled…when we do as He says.

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“Everyone who does the will of the Father,

that is to say, who obeys Him,

is a brother or sister of Christ,

because he is like Him who fulfilled the will of His Father.”

.

– St. Thomas

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

My Lord and my God, my Creator, my Saviour, I belong to You,

Teach me, Lord, to do Your will.
