Homily links obedience to divine word with true kinship to Jesus

A religious commentary published on September 22, 2026, asserts that the word of God demands life coherence from believers. The text identifies those who hear and practice the divine word as the true family of Jesus, citing the Gospel of Luke. The author argues that this spiritual kinship supersedes human ties and fleeting emotions, which are described as being swept away by the wind.

The commentary highlights the Virgin Mary as a model of this obedience. It states that she is blessed not only for bearing Christ in the flesh but for accepting the word of God with perfect obedience. The text notes that she heard, believed, and lived entirely to fulfill the divine will. This example is used to illustrate that true relationship with Jesus is born of fidelity and obedience rather than temporary feelings.

The author criticizes contemporary desires for a Christianity or Catholicism without commitments. The text reports that some individuals wish to create their own version of the faith based on personal opinions or emotions. In response, the commentary urges believers to keep their hearts linked to the heart of God and to overcome the limitations of the current era. It emphasizes that the authentic disciple does not mold the Gospel to the customs of the time but allows the Gospel to transform their life.

The text concludes by stating that sanctity arises from persevering obedience rather than accommodation. It asserts that belonging to the family of Christ requires Catholic faith, life coherence, perseverance in truth, and fidelity to commandments. The commentary notes that the Church has always taught that the word of God must be received with humility and transmitted without alteration. The piece ends with a request for the intercession of the Virgin Mary and a blessing from the Almighty God.
