Tuesday Week 3 Ordinary Time

To maintain my "being" as one of the "brethren" of the Incarnation I have to believe "every word that comes from the mouth of God" thus I know that the "brothers at the gate" in today's Gospel were not the children of Theotokos, Our Lady, the unique, sinless female being, created to be the human source of the flesh of "true man, begotten not made". 

Everything that I am and do during my lifetime after my infancy is and has been determined by my will exercised in freedom. Jesus assured us that the problem with the religion of the Jews of his day was not its base in belief " IAMIAM"  but the failure to practise the Commandments of "Our Father" with sincerity.

The reset of creation began by "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" started in a human family. Our Mother Mary joined the already existent family of Joseph which thus became the home of the Holy Family.

In today's Gospel it seems that Mary has come to find out what has happened to cause Jesus to be absent from home in Nazareth and has not come alone. Jesus response is not a denial of his family but to tell us all that we are the "children of God" and have to strive by fulfilling the second commandment to achieve that unity within which we can all hear the WORD that comes from the mouth of God and thus live holy lives in this world and receive  perfect joyful peace in the next.

The last instructions that Jesus gave from his cross "Woman behold your son. Son behold your mother" are our guarantee he is our "forever brother" and that we too can become part of the "New Holy Family" which is our place of Spiritual Safety within which to seek, find and obey the will of "Our Father". Amen
