First Reading: Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14
Sirach emphasizes the importance of honoring one’s
parents. He explains that spiritual riches will come to
those who are kind to their mother and father.
Gospel: Luke 2:41-52
When Jesus was twelve years old, the Holy Family
traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. Jesus did
not return with the company. Instead, he stayed in
Jerusalem, sitting among the teachers while amazing
them with his understanding and questions. When found
by his concerned parents, Jesus reminded them that he
must be in the house of his Father. Returning together,
Mary kept these things in her heart.

THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY & JOSEPH
“Not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him. On the third day they
came upon him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and
asking them questions. All who heard him were amazed at his intelligence and his
answers. ‘Why did you search for me? Did you not know I had to be in my Father’s
house?’ But they did not grasp what he meant….His mother kept all these things in her
memory.”
How appropriate that today’s celebration follows so closely on the Bethlehem event of
Christmas. We jump from the stable to the temple, twelve years, in just a few days. We will
return to Bethlehem, but first we reflect on this search and rescue..
Anxious parents, seeking a lost child, for three days. Where can He be? At last in a second
home, the temple, and in conversation with teachers in His Father’s house. A harried mother’s
question and a clear concise answer ‘did you not know that I had to be?’
As parents we too worry about our children, where ever they are on their journey of growth. We
try to feed, clothe and teach them well. By word and example, we bring them closer to the Lord.
As disciples, we too search for the Christ. We encounter Him at worship, where we offer prayer
and praise. We encounter Him in the words of the bible. I might even decide to join a bible
group, as well as read the scriptures at home alone or with my family. We encounter Him in our
community of faith. It is not just me at mass or prayer, it is my ‘Holy Family’ where I share the
values of the gospel in a challenging world.
The picture of our families might be quite distinct. A single parent, an elderly couple, a widow or
widower, a single person or extended family of relatives and friends. We are family through our
baptism and faith. May we look to the family which settled in Nazareth as a model, with trials
and tribulations, challenges, hurts and sorrow, but centered on the Person of Christ.

and all who heard him were astounded at his
understanding and his answers. When his
parents saw him, they were astonished, and his
mother said to him, “Son, why have you done
this to us? Your father and I have been looking
for you with great anxiety.” And he said to
them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you
not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
But they did not understand what he said to
them. He went down with them and came to
Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his
mother kept all these things in her heart. And
Jesus advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor
before God and man.
