He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”
(Luke 8:21)
Your mother, my Jesus, did hear the word, consent to it, and act on it. So did your disciples. You invite us all into your family, even into your very Body. How blessed are we!
How can I act on your word today? How can I share it? I see few people and influence even fewer, but I have to trust you to use me as your instrument. I will keep meditating; I will try harder to be open to your plan for me. When I hear anyone maligning another, I will speak out. If I love you, you will give me courage to resist gossip and negativism. My Jesus, I trust in you.
