Reflections

Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again, the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this, they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
(Mark 3:20-21)

Even your relatives thought you were crazy, Lord. They were thinking as humans think. When I am “in my mind,” I am limited by human judgment. I need, instead, to be in your mind, to consult you and to trust in you.

Your “craziness,” I suppose, was in not being able to turn away the people who pressed on you constantly. I want to be more concerned about those who need help, and less confined by what I want or need. During this storm, please show me how I can assist my neighbors. Let me offer help, food and companionship. What can I do to make things easier for them? I made some phone calls and shared some extra food. Tomorrow I will cook for my Scrabble friends. Please show me other ways to reach out.
