Gospel: Mark 3:20-21
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.

Reflection:
What happens when we get to serious with our
vocation for the Lord? They normally would label us as someone who is out of
his/her mind. For example when we prioritize God over money, when we shun
friends even relatives from our environment friends/relatives who do not bring
us any good. and instead we focus our time and energy for the glory of God. They would really label
us as somebody who is out of his/her mind.
But come to think of it, who is out of
his/her mind? Those who focus their time and energy for the greater glory of
God or those who focus their time and energy to this world only? If you focus
your attention to this world what will happen to you when you die? Where will
you end up if you allow yourself to be possessed by this world?
Jesus was labeled as out of His mind for the
reason that He was very zealous in His mission for the Lord. He allowed Himself
to be possessed by His mission for the Lord rather than embrace worldliness.
There really are people who will not
understand us for the things that we do for the greater glory of God. We must
move on nevertheless and continue doing our mission for Jesus. Let us just pray
for the enlightenment of those who do not understand or refuse to understand
what we do for the Lord. – Marino J.
