"Nagbuang sia"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Marcos 3:19b, 20-21)

Dayon si Jesus nagpauli. Sa liwat nagdulogok sa iya ang madamo nga mga tawo sa bagay nga sia kag ang iya mga gintuton-an wala na sing tion sa pagkaon.

Sang mabatian ini sang iya pamilya, naglakat sila sa pagkuha sa iya, tungod kay ang mga tawo nagsiling, "Nagbuang sia!"

Prayers:

"Lord Jesus, help me to put you first in all my thoughts and concerns. And may I always find joy in doing your will, even in times of difficulty or opposition."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:

Is the Lord Jesus honored in your home? Why would Jesus' relatives be so upset with him when he began his public ministry? On one occasion Jesus remarked that a man's enemies will be the members of his own household (Matthew 10:36). The Gospel of Mark records the reaction of Jesus' relatives when he went home: they came to seize him. They, no doubt, thought that Jesus must have gone mad or become a religious fanatic. How could a good home-body from Nazareth leave his carpentry trade and go off to become an itinerant preacher? Jesus had thrown away the security and safety of a quiet and respectable life close to his family and relatives. He probably expected some opposition or reaction from the highest religious authorities in Jerusalem. The hardest opposition, however, may come from someone close to us, even your own kin. Jesus met opposition with grace and with determination to fulfill his Father's will. Are you ready to obey and follow the Lord even if others oppose your doing so?
