Tuesday, 16th Week in Ordinary Time, 2020

His mother and His brothers were anxious to have a word with Him.
But stretching out His hand to His disciples He said, here are my mother and my brothers.
Do we not always put our family first, cosy in our own little rim?
In deed and mind whatever we say we put them before the others.

There is nothing to be ashamed of if reasoned.
If family comes first.
But faith surely can come second.
And third for truth a thirst.

If we try to do the will of Him in Heaven.
We will be His brother and sister.
It is a metaphysical leaven.
To his will if we are no resister.

But for us in our life we must admit, mere mortals, for what do we in reality thirst.
That our family come first.
