He is out of his mind.

“When his relatives heard of this, they set out to seize him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’” (MK 3: 21)

Unfortunately, it happens also today to so many of us. Examples include our parents, who are against our consecration or priesthood; our spouses, our colleagues, or our coworkers/bosses who don’t accept our beliefs; a society that is more and more secular; and governments that are not supporting our families. In all of these situations, we are those who “are out of our mind.” It happened to Our Lord, and it could happen to us. Our Lord knows and will help. 

“Open our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of your Son.” (Gospel Acclamation)
