ST THOMAS AQUINAS

Hebrews 9:15, 24-28; Psalm 97 (98):1-6; Mark 3:22-30

Being misunderstood

Being misunderstood seems to be part of the human condition. Jesus was certainly misunderstood by his relatives and the scribes. How do we handle being misunderstood even in a hostile way? Jesus calmly renews his commitment and carries on. The Father will later confirm his mission and the truth he proclaims. Misunderstanding will crumble away. Truth will prevail.
