Commentary
We
Are God's Holy Family
Jesus'
parents “looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances”.
Commentators
often explain this practice of people at the time traveling in group
for safety reason.
However,
this line also reminds us of the role of the extended family and
community in each person's spiritual journey. No one walks this
journey alone. We can and need to support each other. The witness
of people's faith encourages us to live our faith.
We
are all “looking for Jesus” every moment of our life. We can
seek him together. And we can find him present in each other. We
then become the holy family, where the Son of God continues to be
present in the flesh.
