GOSPEL
“His mother treasured all these events in her heart” (Lk 2, 41-51)
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke
Every year Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem
for the Passover feast.
When he was twelve years old,
they went on pilgrimage according to custom.
At the end of the feast, as they were returning,
the young Jesus remained in Jerusalem
without the knowledge of his parents.
Thinking he was in the procession of pilgrims,
they traveled a day
before looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem,
continuing to search for him.
It was at the end of three days that they found him in the Temple,
seated in the midst of the doctors of the Law:
he listened to them and asked them questions,
and all those who heard him
were ecstatic over his intelligence and his answers.
Seeing him, his parents were struck with astonishment,
and his mother said to him,
“My child, why have you done this to us?
See how your father and
I have suffered looking for you!
He said to them,
"How come you looked for me? "
Did you not know
that I must be with my Father? But
they did not understand what he was saying to them.
He went down with them to go to Nazareth,
and he was subject to them.
His mother kept all these events in her heart.
– Let us acclaim the Word of God.
