Reflection:
Who are my mother and brothers? Who are my sisters and cousins? Who are my family by birth or by faith? (Mark)
We are the family of Jesus through baptism. (water, desire or blood)
Look around the church at those who celebrate Eucharist with us,
Go to those places where people gather and know that Christ in present to you
Our words and deeds that express our physical relations with one another also express our spiritual relationship as well.
Here I am, Lord. I come to do your will. (Hebrews)
God’s will for each of us is to be family and community, an important part of all created beings.
Like Christ, we are called to reach out to the homeless, hungry, sick and infirmed.
Our faith is an expression of who we are and who we wish to become. Christ in the midst of our world.
“Here I am Lord I come to do your will”.
