“Jesus Is My Family”
Acts 9: 1-20; Mt. 13:54-58
In our Gospel we have Jesus being rejected by his family. I have several cousins who accept me, but my family as a whole rejected me along time ago. Why? because I am queer, and because I am catholic. In the past few weeks I have begun to accept it. I had thought about trying to see my sister this summer when I went to the ICCC meeting, but why waste my time. I understand the way the kids on the street feel when they talk of their families have rejected them. I have a my own family, people who love me, who care for me, and the head of that family is Jesus. He has been with me through the years, and continues to walk with me in the pain, and in the good times.
Spent day at meeting on same sex marriage. Long, long, long. My time is spent with the guys on the street, that is where I spend my time, and they are my family. Ran into a couple up in the Castro when i went to the meeting. The minister I was with seemed to be uncomfortable, they were just my guys. Life is good. I am a bastard sometimes, but I try. Deo Gratis! Thanks be to God!
