And his mother and his brothers came and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him: ‘Look, your mother and your brothers (and your sisters) are looking for you outside.
And he replied: ‘Who is my mother, and my brothers? And looking around those around him sitting in a circle he said ‘Look, my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother, and my sister and mother.’
Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.
Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
