Catechesis Notes for the Week — — I Must Be About My Father’s Business—Jesus was the living pattern of the psalmist’s words, “Lord, I love the habitation of Your house and the place where Your glory dwells” (Ps. 26:8). From the time of His infancy He lived faithfully under the Law. He was circumcised on the 8^th day. He was presented to the Lord in the Temple at the age of 40 days. He observed every Sabbath. He journeyed to Jerusalem for every pilgrim feast. And at 12-years of age, as he begins to take on the responsibilities of a man, He is found in the Temple, both listening to the teachers and asking them questions. The adults who were charged with teaching the Word were amazed at the understanding and answers of the 12-year-old Jesus. To live in God’s Word – this is the Father’s business for Jesus and for us. There is no greater calling.CP250112
