"After three days they found him in the temple,

sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them

and asking them questions, and all who heard him

were astounded at his understanding and his an-

swers." As we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family,

this Gospel exposes us to a strange tension. While

this family is one we can look to for an example, they

are not quite the same family unit as everyone else.

There is an otherness to Jesus, something profound.

And yet, perhaps on second thought, are our families

so different?

When Mary and Joseph encountered Jesus in the

temple, "they were astonished." But at what? Mary's

response is surprised. They're not astonished that

Jesus is preaching in a place for respected teachers.

They're not astonished that their son has captured

the attention of the wisest men of the time period.

They're astonished at his seemingly disobedient be-

havior! "Son, why have you done this to us? Your fa-

ther and I have been looking for you with great anxie-

ty." All our children have an "otherness" about them,

something that makes them unique and different.

They are distinctly not "me." What will our own

children become? What temple will they wander off

to? Who will they astound?
