"Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister"

Matthew 12:46-50

While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And stretching out his hand toward 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."

Amo-amo ra sanan may kaparehasan an mga Jews sanan an mga Habunganon.

An tawag nan mga Jews sa ila mga ta’al na manghud sanan maguyang, amo ‘sab sa mga relatives, lumon - ugsa na an tawag sa tanan, mapa-igsoon man o mapa-relatives, lumon.

Amo ra ‘sab kita – mga Habunganon.

Dinhi sa ebanghelyo, dili kon tag-etsa’puwera ni Jesus an Ija mga lumon, kondili, tag-sakop pa man gani Nija an dili Nija kon mga ta’al na mga lumon.

Kon himoon nato an kabubot’on ni God sa ato kaugalingon, kapamilya kita ni Jesus.

Magsugod an ato pagka-lumon kan Jesus kon ato sun’don an mga pulong ni God para sa to mga kinabuhi.

Amo na tag-offer ni Jesus dinhi an Ija pagka-kapamilya dato tanan pinaagi sa pagpamati sanan pag-aksiyon sa Ija mga pulong.

"Heavenly Father, you bless us with many relationships and you invite us into the community of your sons and daughters who have been redeemed by your son, Jesus Christ. Help me to love my neighbor with charity, kindness, compassion, and mercy, just as you have loved me. In all of my relationships, and in all that I do and say, may I always seek to bring you honor and glory."
