The Gospel today presents the relatives of our dear Lord to be very concerned with him because he did not have any time to eat anymore because of the work he had, the crowds and sick needing his help and cures. This work included his preaching and teaching. No time to eat! They were convinced that Jesus was out of his mind.

We too have some madness for a creature on earth. There are those crazy about football, a girl, an actress, an actor, a movie, or something else. We might even miss meals because of our love for them. This should wake us up to the ability and potency we have to be crazy about our love for God. We have that energy. We have that strength to do something crazy for Him since He also did something crazy for us, i.e., He died on the Cross to save us from sin and death.
