The family of Jesus. The relatives reached the house where Jesus was. They have probably come from Nazareth. From there to Capernaum there is a distance of forty kilometers. His mother also comes with them. They do not enter, but they send a messenger: “Look, Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for You!” Jesus’ reaction is clear: “Who are My mother and My brothers?” And He Himself responds by turning to look toward the crowd who is there around Him: “Here are My mother and My brothers! Anyone who does the will of God is My brother and sister and mother!” To understand the meaning of this response it is necessary to look at the situation of the family at the time of Jesus. In old Israel, the clan (the large family, the community), was the basis of living together. It was protection for families and people, the guarantee of possession of the land, the principle vehicle of tradition, and the defense of identity.
In Galilee at the time of Jesus, because of the system established during the long periods of government of Herod the Great (37 BC to 4 BC) and his son Herod Antipas (4 BC to 39 AD), the clan (the community), was becoming weaker. The taxes to be paid, both to the government and to the Temple, the debts which were increasing, the individualistic mentality of Hellenism, the frequent threats of violent repression on the part of the Romans and the obligation to accept the soldiers and give them hospitality, and the ever growing problem of survival, impelled families to close themselves in on themselves and to think only of their own needs. This closing up was strengthened by the religion of the time. For example, one who gave his inheritance to the Temple could leave his parents without any help. This weakened the fourth commandment which was the backbone of the clan (Mk 7:8-13).
The concern over the problems of one’s own family prevented people from meeting in community. Now, in order that the Kingdom of God could manifest itself in community living, people had to overcome the narrow limits of the small family and open themselves to the larger family, and the community. Jesus gave the example. When His own family tried to take control of Him, He reacted and extended the family: “Who are My mother and My brothers?” And He Himself gave the answer, turning His look toward the crowd, “Here are My mother and My brothers! Anyone who does the will of God is My brother, sister and mother!” (Mk 3:33-35). He created a community.
Jesus asked the same thing from all those who wanted to follow Him. Families should not close themselves in on themselves . The excluded and the marginalized had to be accepted in life with others and feel accepted by God (Lk 14:12-14). This was the path to attaining the objective of the Law, which said , “There must, then, be no poor among you” (Dt 15:4). Like the great prophets of the past, Jesus tries to consolidate community life in the villages of Galilee. He takes back the profound sense of the clan, the family, and the community as an expression of the incarnation of the love toward God and toward neighbor.

Today, Jesus looking around those seated in the circle said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
Through your almsgiving you are indeed doing the will of God and your gift placed in the St. Vincent de Paul collection indeed brings Christ’s love and compassion to the poor.

Por lo tanto, esta palabra del Evangelio no autoriza, de hecho, el uso de la fuerza para difundir la fe. Es precisamente lo contrario: la verdadera fuerza del cristiano es la fuerza de la verdad y del amor, que comporta renunciar a toda violencia. ¡Fe y violencia son incompatibles! ¡Fe y violencia son incompatibles! En cambio, fe y fortaleza van juntas. El cristiano no es violento, pero es fuerte. ¿Con qué fortaleza? La de la mansedumbre, la fuerza de la mansedumbre, la fuerza del amor. Queridos amigos, también entre los parientes de Jesús hubo algunos que a un cierto punto no compartieron su modo de vivir y de predicar, nos lo dice el Evangelio. Pero su Madre lo siguió siempre fielmente, manteniendo fija la mirada de su corazón en Jesús, el Hijo del Altísimo, y en su misterio. Y al final, gracias a la fe de María, los familiares de Jesús entraron a formar parte de la primera comunidad cristiana. Pidamos a María que nos ayude también a nosotros a mantener la mirada bien fija en Jesús y a seguirle siempre, incluso cuando cueste. (S.S. Francisco, Ángelus del 18 de agosto de 2013). Reflexión "¿Quién es mi Madre y mis hermanos?... Quien cumpla la voluntad de Dios" enseñaba el Maestro. ¿Y quién cumplió mejor en esta tierra esa Voluntad de Dios sino María? Su Madre, Ella, la Siempre Fiel. Por eso la puso de modelo. Todo aquel que llegue a cumplir los deseos de su Padre podrá asemejarse a aquella Dulce Madre, Fidelísima a quien se le confiaron tesoros tan grandes. Y así como una vez fue presentada en el Templo para consagrarla totalmente al Señor ahora Ella, de labios de su Hijo, fue confirmada en su ofrenda total ante el Padre celestial, porque sólo Ella ha logrado vivir consagrada plenamente a los deseos del Señor. Benditos aquellos que son llamados Hijos de Dios. Pero lo mejor de todo es que cada uno de nosotros, católicos bautizados, también somos hijos predilectos de Dios. Basta con cumplir su voluntad en todo momento. ¿Y cómo saber cuál es la voluntad de Dios? Es muy fácil, a todos nosotros se nos pide ir a Misa todos los domingos y fiestas de guardar. Se nos pide perdonar las ofensas que recibimos, confesarnos y comulgar, hacer bien nuestro deber, evitar los vicios. Ahora, siempre hay que tomar las palabras de Jesús como verdaderas, otra forma, nuestra fe no valdría de nada. Y si Cristo dice que quien cumple la voluntad de Dios es su hermano, su hermana y su madre, ¡Yo quiero ser hermano de Jesús! Es cuestión de pensar un momento: ¡Tener a Dios como hermano!... ¿Quién es mi madre y mis hermanos? Catholic.net Del santo Evangelio según san Marcos 3, 20-35
