Luke 8:19-21

The mother and the brothers of Jesus came looking for him, but they could not get to him because of the crowd.

His family came looking for him because word was sent to them that he had gone mad. So out of love and pain they made the journey to go bring him home. You know sometimes we get the idea that Jesus was all by himself out there. But his family was also involved in his ministry. James his brother or cousin for good Catholics, became the first Bishop of the mother church in Jerusalem. By the way, if you really want to know the thoughts of Jesus you should read his brothers letter—— James. His Uncle Cleopas and wife are mentioned in the journey to Emmaus. His mother was at the cross. There was a whole lot of them than we realize. My favorite line in scripture is “those who are with us are more than those who are with them..”

Today say a prayer for all those who support you quietly. I am so grateful to see how my family has grown and you are part of it. Thank you!!
