Lk 2:41-51

The conclusion of the infancy narratives leads to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Endowed with wisdom and grace, Jesus’ parents have faithfully raised him in the faith. Naturally, they are concerned about him. Jesus’ response to his parent’s question must have given them cause to begin to realize his destiny and their role in parenting him on the way.

All children are important in God’s eyes and have great potential in being instrumental in bringing about the kingdom. We pray for parents to recognize their responsibility in forming their children in the faith.
