10th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Have you ever thought about what makes someone part of your family? 

Is it just about being related by blood, or is there something more? 

Join Father Alister as he unpacks the Gospel for the 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Gospel Reading - Mark 3:20-21, 31-35, From the Children's Lectionary

Jesus went back home, and once again such a large crowd gathered that there was no chance even to eat. When Jesus’ family heard what he was doing, they thought he was crazy and went to get him under control.

Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. Then they sent someone with a message for him to come out to them. The crowd that was sitting around Jesus told him, “Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside and want to see you.”

Jesus asked, “Who is my mother and who are my brothers?” Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother.”
