Matthew 10: 34-11, 1

At that time, Jesus told his apostles: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth: I came not to bring peace, but war I have come to set son with his father, a daughter against. his mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law and enemies of each will be those of his own family.

He wh o loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of

me; he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

The save his life will lose it and he who loses his life for my sake will save it.

Whoever receives you receives me there; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet to be prophet will receive a prophet's reward; which receives a righteous to be fair, you receive just reward.

Who giveth, although not more than a glass of cold water to one of these little ones to be my disciple, I tell you not lose his reward. "

When he had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in other cities.

 

Meditation

In this passage, Jesus says United's superiority over any other value in the world, including the most valuable, such as the same family. We should note that Jesus uses the term is a term of relativity, ie "more than". Therefore, when any value opposes the kingdom is the reality and values of the world, as it did see Jesus, are often different and even contrary to those of the

Kingdom, creating antagonism against the world Christian. The same family is not exempt from this reality. It is the clear invitation of Jesus to take our Christian life until the end.

reflexion

This is not easy, for it says: "He who does not take his cross and follow me", if it is difficult to be rejected by the world, it is much more than by the family itself. This is not to reject either the world or to family or friends, this is love, above all things, Jesus and the evangelical life, and to make a radical option that leads to transparency Jesus. It is an option TOTAL.o fidelity, that must be had for less.

We are the Lord, He is our own, if we are part of the body of Christ, the church, his wife, then, is our husband, and as such, is above everything and

everyone.
