Becoming A Family Member

When Jesus was told his mother was among the crowd and wished to speak to him, he used the occasion to
remind us that all of us can be members of his family, if we do his will.  "For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister and mother" (Mt 12:30). What a huge privilege this is! At the same time, what a challenge it is to accept daily God's will, God's plan for us, who by rebellious nature lean so much in the direction of OUR wills. It takes a heap of will power and prayer to bend our stubborn wills, but the result of being considered part of the family of Jesus, is more than worth it.  May we pray for the grace to act on this insight and to bend more willingly to the will of our heavenly Father.
