Who is my mother and my brother? (Mt 12:46-50)

Mother is –

- One who give birth.

o Eg: our own mothers, though they may not be taking caring of their children.

- One who take care of you, by her love and affection.

o Eg: the mother in the orphanage can be the aaya who take care of the children. In the serial “Noah”, it is clear.

- One who provides for our life, support us by sacrificing their lives

o Eg: In Philippines the OFWs who work abroad for supporting their family and the extended family remembers are considered as 2 mothers.

- For Jesus – “the one who does the will of Heavenly Father”.

o God is the Father and all are brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers.

o It gives the elderly a duty to love younger ones as their children, especially less the fortunate.

o It gives the younsters a challenge to consider the elders as their parents, love and respect them and take care of them. Also love everybody as our own.
