Short Reflection for the Feast of the Holy Family (C)

Readings:  Sirach 3: 2-6, 12-14; Colossians 2: 12-21; Luke 2: 41-52
Selected Passage 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.” (Luke 2: 50-52)

Meditation:  There are many things in life that we do not understand.  Like Mary and Joseph, albeit we do not understand, we believe and treasure them in our hearts.  Their meanings are revealed to us in time. What is beautiful in the gospel is the fact that Jesus was obedient to his parents and he advanced in wisdom and favor before God and man.  Visit: www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
