Man can sometimes
be so unjust.
20 [a]He came home.[b] Again [the] crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. 21 When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”-Mark3:20-21
So much damage is
done through poisonous words, poisonous thoughts, poisonous deeds,
misplaced feelings. Usually, we find comfort with our loved ones,
family, relatives and friends. But the contrary happened to Jesus in
today's Gospel. One wonders how Jesus' relatives came with such a
thought and words. Jesus is inviting us all to be a discerning
people. He is inviting us to be careful in expressing ourselves or in
giving comments and opinion. Yes, this is the age of expression and
freedom of speech, but we must be aware of its extent, boundary and
limitations as well. If we want to hear beautiful words, then we must
be generous with beautiful words to others as well. To speak the
truth or to give an honest feedback can be given without any of us
being rude.

we give is the measure we receive."
