In this episode, we turn our attention to a formative moment in the life of Jesus. Our gospel passage offers a rare glimpse into Jesus’ childhood and reveals profound truths about being committed and consistent in our devotion to God. Through this narrative, we find an example of unwavering dedication to God's purpose—one that invites us to fully commit to being about our Father’s business.

In this story, Jesus, at just twelve years old, is found in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers. His parents, having realized He was missing, searched anxiously for three days before finding Him in the temple. When questioned by Mary, Jesus responded, “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” This statement reflects an early recognition and prioritization of His divine mission, reminding us of our own call to be steadfastly devoted to God's work.
