Bible Reading
The True Kindred of Jesus
While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside,
wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, ‘Look, your mother and your brothers are standing
outside, wanting to speak to you.’ But to the one who had told him this, Jesus replied, ‘Who is my
mother, and who are my brothers?’ And pointing to his disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and
my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and
mother.’
Prayer for today
Lord God, whose Son, Jesus Christ,
understood people's fear and pain
before they spoke of them,
we pray for those who suffer this day
surround the frightened with your tenderness;
give strength to those in pain;
hold the weak in your arms of love,
and give hope and patience
to those who are recovering;
we ask this through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
