Family of Christ

Today's Readings:
Prv 21:1-6, 10-13
Ps 119:1, 27, 30, 34-35, 44
Lk 8:19-21

Today Jesus reminds us that any who hear and act on the Word of God are his mother and siblings. We see through our baptism that we truly are brothers and sisters in Christ and who make up the Mystical Body of Christ, yet we are also called to be the mother of Christ. Though this sounds strange, by that same baptism we receive the name Christian which means "Christ bearer," so in that we are to bear and bring our Lord to all we encounter. This relationship with our Lord is a blessing and one which we should hold in great esteem. Today let us truly hear and act on the Word sent to us by the Father so that we may also be Christ bearers and bring the good news of our Lord to all we meet. May God Bless you all and have a great day.
