In the Gospel reading from Mark 3, a crowd seated around Jesus told him, "Your mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside asking for you." But he said to them in reply, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother." So all we need to do is the will of God and we immediately belong to his family! It's straight and simple. But we love to play hart-to-get and inevitably end up making everything complicated for ourselves.
