tealinDay 12 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.
A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:
Matthew 12:46-50
While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, "Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you." But to the one who had told him this, Jesus replied, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and my sister and mother."

For truly, family is the most important thing in this life, and I value my mother and my brothers above all others."
