Saturday of week 2 in Ordinary Time
Saint Sebastian, Martyr
Gospel – Mark 3:20-21
This is a very family situation where we find Jesus. Jesus went home. All the people arrived there, and the crowd was such that they could not even have a meal. People wanted more and more of Jesus. But when the relatives of Jesus heard this, they set out to take charge of Jesus. Because they thought that Jesus was out of his mind. The relatives of Jesus trying to take Jesus away from the crowd because they did not understand the mission of Jesus. We always have this challenge. People who are close to us and who love us, do not understand our mission. They will try to persuade to abandon our mission, or to take away from our mission, or to deviate from our mission. Let’s reflect: In the midst of people who does not our mission, we must continue to give witness to Jesus Christ.
