GOOD SATURDAY MORNING, EVERYONE!!! THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE! LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT! **********TODAYS GOSPEL *********** Mk 3:20-21 Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” ********** ●●●●●Is the Lord Jesus honored in your home? Why would Jesus relatives be so upset with him when he began his public ministry? On one occasion Jesus remarked that a mans enemies will be the members of his own household (Matthew 10:36). The Gospel of Mark records the reaction of Jesus relatives when he went home: they came to seize him. They, no doubt, thought that Jesus must have gone mad or become a religious fanatic. How could a good home-body from Nazareth leave his carpentry trade and go off to become a traveling preacher? To their way of thinking, Jesus had thrown away the security and safety of a quiet and respectable life close to his family and relatives. Jesus probably expected to meet opposition from the highest religious authorities in Jerusalem. For him to meet opposition from his own relatives must have been even harder. When we choose to be disciples of the Lord Jesus and to follow his will for our lives, we can expect to meet opposition from those who are opposed to the Gospel message and Christian way of life. But the hardest opposition may actually come from someone close to us, a family member or close friend who doesnt want us to take the Gospel message too seriously. Jesus met opposition - whether from family, friend, or foe - with grace and determination to fulfill his Fathers will. Are you ready to obey and follow the Lord Jesus even if others oppose your doing so? Lord Jesus, may I always put you first and find joy in doing your will. May your love and charity grow in me, especially in the face of opposition and adversity. (Reflection from Laudeate) We pray that everyone be safe as they travel the roads to day to go to work, and other weekend activities...that all road rage be eliminated. BE SURE TO STAY WARM AND DRY!!! KEEP ALERT FOR OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS! Whenever you can, give a smile to someone, and wish them a Good Morning!...a little kindness goes a long way!●●●●● Thank You Lord, for giving me another day to love and serve You.
