Gospel Reflection – January 24, 2026
“He is out of his mind.” The Cross also carries madness and scandal (1 Cor 1:23). Jesus’ mission did not fit into the standards of that society and that rigid Religion—lifeless and heavily regulated.
The religious authorities did not accept the change Jesus proposed; they felt envy. Some family members were also bewildered to see Him preaching with such freedom, standing up to the teachers of the law. That is why His relatives tried to take Him away, to return Him to the normality of Nazareth.
Neither group understood what Jesus was doing, but He “does not let Himself be trapped.” He asks everyone for an effort to welcome His newness, the message of the Beatitudes. It is not easy to discern where God is acting. That is why it is not strange that sometimes the closest ones, our own family, are the ones who offer the greatest resistance to God’s project.
Listening and walking with Jesus means moving from comfort to discipleship, from settling down to searching, from the superficial to the deep. He invites us to take the leap. Do you dare?
