Who is my mother, or my sister, or my brother?

Morning: Psalms 24, 29; Jeremiah 1:1-10; I Corinthians 3:11-23
Evening: Psalms 8, 84; Mark 3:31-4:9

Jesus expands our understanding ... Is our vision of family too small?  Jesus’s ‘family’ includes all who invest in what is good and just and true.  His hearers are shocked, offended even, when he asks, provocatively: Who is my mother?  But he is saying:  Do not limit human potential ... plant liberally seeds of a vision of human relationships rooted in Love, Love that is not expressed only within a traditional family, but is shared freely with all, without exception. And don’t give up, see.  Some seeds of Love will perish but many will germinate and Love will grow.
