of him. “He is out of his mind,” they said.
Reflect
“The grace of God.” Jesus is committed to his mission. He is always like a seeded cloud
ready to pour out rain upon the earth. This is so because Jesus does things in the name
of relationship. He is always relating to his Father by spending time in prayers and he
relates to people in his ministry. People who are disconnected from any of these two
relations will never understand Jesus’ self-giving attitude. In today’s Gospel, Jesus did
not even have time to eat because of the people whose needs he was trying to attend.
He gave his all in his ministry to serve the people. Jesus was even accused of being out
of his mind. In our journey of faith, there are times when we experience the grace of God.
With such grace-filled moments, we simply want to give our all in the service of others.
However, the problem is how to sustain the inspiration we have received in moments
of grace. When the inspiration begins to wane and the trials and confusions start to creep
in, we begin going back to our small and self-secured world. Let us not relapse by allowing
God’s words to keep our inspiration alive.
