Even Jesus’ Family Thought He Was Mad
This is a door of a Dominican Sisters' convent in Pisa, Italy.
In today’s Gospel (Mark 3:20-21) we read:
Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
Some people wonder why a young, happy, and intelligent woman would want to be a sister. They might even think it’s a crazy idea.
What might God be calling you to do? How might God be calling you to live? Do you worry about what people might think or say? “What-people-think” never stopped Jesus – don’t let it stop you. Come and meet the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael on February 4th. We don’t know what others would say, but we don’t think it’s a crazy idea.
