Episode Details

We can be His mother, His brother, or His sister as long as we do His Will! It is as simple as that. The Jews were so full of themselves as members of the Chosen People. They believed they did not have to have any interior conversion. It sufficed to have external actions. What was visible was enough. No need really for inner changes. Such internal changes were what God wanted. They were distancing themselves from God by such superficiality. So, Jesus made it a point to consider in the last paragraph of the Gospel today that they needed to have the conversion of doing God's Will.
