Unable to join him because of the crowd

“The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd.” (LK 8: 19)

How many changed after Our Lord’s resurrection—now He is always present for us, always available, always focused on us, always loving us. We are His family and His relatives, and when we listen to Him, we can join Him all the time.

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” (Gospel Acclamation)
