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 would happen to
you when you die? Where would you end up if you allow yourself to be possessed
by this world?
Jesus is
labeled as out of His mind for the reason that He is 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. Dasmarinas
