For 28 January 2025, The Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church, based on Mark 3:31-35
Jesus’s mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, ‘Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you.’ And he replied, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking at those who sat around him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.’

Thank you for your words, dear Ruth Anne. I did not know anything about St. Thomas Aquinas’s family. May he pray for us!

I meditated on these words yesterday:
“I will whatever you will,
I will it because you will it,
I will it in the way you will it,
I will it for as long as you will it.”
—from The Universal Prayer
Thank you for the reinforcement.
