REFLECTION:Today, we celebrate theMotherhoodoftheBlessedVirginMary-the Mother of God and

our Mother. Mary’s loving care to Jesus is expressed

in her anxious search of Jesus. Upon Dinding Him in

the Temple, she reminded her Son, Jesus in a very

human way, on how to let parents know of his

whereabouts especially in a nameless crowd. Mary’s

reaction is understandable but it only shows a true

expression of her great love as a Mother. Mary is

always there following Jesus.

CHALLENGE:Didyouhaveasimilarexperiencethatof Jesus? Did you responsibly inform your parentsespecially your ownmother or those responsible ofyouwhereabouts?
