Gospel Reflection for 19 July 2022

/ Carmelite Spirituality, Gospel Reflection / By

While Jesus was speaking to the crowds,
his mother and his brothers appeared outside,
wishing to speak with him.
Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside,
asking to speak with you.”
But he said in reply to the one who told him,
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said,
“Here are my mother and my brothers.
For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father
is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Matthew 12:46-50

Point for Reflection
How are you a brother, sister, or mother to Jesus?
