Whoever does the will of my heavenly Father

“Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister, and mother.” (MT 12: 49-50      )

Our Lord is always between His Father and us. The will of His heavenly Father is the most important thing. He came to us because of His Father’s will, and Our Lord knows perfectly that there is nothing more important for us than to “do the will of my heavenly Father.” “Whoever does His will” became His “brother, and sister, and mother.” And this is the ultimate will of the Father—to make us His family.

“Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
