Mt 12:
46-50: Passage through the red sea inaugurated the beginning of the people of
God. Our baptism is also the beginning of a process of our maturing in the
Lord. The truly significant bonds that join people are not biological but
spiritual: the shared experiences of school, seminary, political campaigns,
joy, sorrow and deliverance. Jesus tells us that those who listen to and keep
his word are his brothers and sisters in a new family that knit together by the
Holy Spirit. We all have experienced deliverance through baptism.
