Reflection following Readings posted by Br. Hector Kay earlier: Have you ever experienced the pain and grief of losing someone close to you? Mary and Joseph must have felt anxious and helpless when the boy Jesus disappeared. Nonetheless they returned to Jerusalem with confident trust that God would guide them in their hour of trial. Why did Jesus stay back when his parents left for home? Just as the prophet Samuel heard the call of the Lord at a very young age, Jesus in his youth recognized that he has been given a call by his heavenly Father. His answer to his mothers anxious inquiry reveals his trusting faith and confident determination to pursue his heavenly Fathers will. Did you not know that I must be in my Fathers house? Our Heavenly Father calls each one of us. With the call God gives grace - grace to say yes to his will and grace to persevere through obstacles and trials that stand in the way. Do you recognize Gods call on your life and do you trust in his grace and strength? LET US PRAY Lord Jesus, in love you have called us to live for your praise and glory. May we always find joy in your presence and trust in your wise and loving plan for our lives.
