"A new family"
This is the Family of God that goes beyond blood ties and human relationships. All those who seek to do God’s will are Jesus’ brother, sister and mother. As Christians, we are called to love others, especially our family members. However, there are some instances when our loved ones prevent us from growing closer to God and doing His will. We must choose our relationship with God as our top priority.
Today, let us pray that we may always seek to do God’s will and find joy in belonging to God’s Family.

Hebrews 9:15,24-28, Mark 3:22-30
"Come, Jesus! Enter into me!"
Jesus was going around healing people and touching the lives of many. Moved constantly by the Holy Spirit, Jesus was doing good deeds of love. By saying that ‘Beelzebul’ was in Jesus, the scribes from Jerusalem were deliberately closing their hearts to recognizing any goodness in Jesus. They refused to see the hand of God in all the works of Jesus. Yet, the simple and humble crowd around Jesus could see the wonders of God through the actions of Jesus and rejoiced in Him.
