The son of a king, or the daughter of the President of a country, do not hesitate to speak of their parents and their siblings.
They speak with pride of their family and (usually) they are not ashamed to mention their origin.
Strangely enough, to this day, I have never heard anyone boast – rightly so! – that he/she, is the son, or the daughter, of… God!
A smile must appear on your faces, you who are reading this text…
Has this thought never come to your mind? – for this is what we are as Christians!
This reflection came to me as I read the 2nd reading of this Sunday (27th Sunday of Year B – He.2:9-11). 
Speaking of Christ, the text says:
“He openly calls them (men and women = us) brothers.”
Another translation speaks in stronger words with the affirmation:
“Jesus is not ashamed of calling them brothers.”
If he recognizes us as his own siblings, why do we not do the same?…
The thought for this day………
