Him to the Father.

tender, sweet love.

Mary of the sufferings to come.

gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross.

in heaven.

the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’…” (Lk. 1:38)

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
1. Think of Jesus as a little child, living on this earth. The Almighty God,
lived as a little child with Mary and Joseph. God became a little child
for us.
2. Why are we so haughty? Why are we so prideful? The Father wants us
to be little children, dependent on Him.
3. He created us and He keeps us alive. Why do we think that we need to
be so independent?
4. Jesus was lost in the Temple and when Mary found Him, “He replied,
‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in My
Father’s house?’” (Lk. 2:49)
5. The Father has a plan for us. He created each one of us unique to carry
out His work.
6. If we have strayed from Your path, Father, give us the grace to do Your
work.
