Gospel Reflection
Stay awake!
Happy those servants who are alert and ready
when their master comes.
When much is given, more will be demanded.
When a great deal is given on trust,
a great deal more is expected.
Stay awake!
‘Why are you sleeping?’ Jesus said.
‘Rise and pray, that you may be spared the test.’
Gospel Reading - The family of the Lord

31-32Now his mother and brothers arrived at the crowded house where he was teaching, and they sent word for him to come out and talk with them. “Your mother and brothers are outside and want to see you,” he was told.
33He replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 34Looking at those around him he said, “These are my mother and brothers! 35Anyone who does God’s will is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.”
. . . . .Mark 3:31-35The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
