Daily Readings: Proverbs 21:1-6, 10-13; Luke 8:19-21
As Jesus teaches the crowds, He is told that His mother and brothers are waiting to speak with Him. Instead of responding directly, Jesus redefines family in a spiritual sense, saying, "My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it."
Jesus emphasizes that hearing God's word is not enough—we must live it. In a world filled with countless distractions, He calls us to center our lives around His teachings, reminding us that true intimacy with Christ begins with an open, attentive heart.
While earthly relationships often take priority, Jesus invites us to see beyond biological ties and embrace a deeper spiritual kinship. We are all integral members of His family, bound together by our commitment to hearing and doing God's word.
Call to Action for Catholic Living: Let us expand our understanding of family, fostering communities built on love, obedience, and service. As we follow Christ, may we listen with intention and act with compassion, united in faith. Amen.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
