Reflections

  • When she finally found him in the Temple, how much of her reaction was relief and how much was, “What were you THINKING?”

  • When Jesus disappeared at twelve, what did the first hour of Mary’s panic feel like?

  • What happened on completely ordinary days in Nazareth when absolutely nothing miraculous occurred?

  • What Did Mary Love About Watching Joseph Father Jesus?

  • What did family dinner sound like in the home of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus? 

  • Did Mary ever become exasperated with a tired, hungry, overwhelmed little Jesus? 

  • What did Mary do when Jesus was sick for the first time?

  • What ridiculous little thing made toddler Jesus laugh?

  • What did Mary feel the first time Jesus smiled specifically at her?

  • When the Rosary Is Used as a Weapon
