My mum told me stories from a book titled “ofu oge Jesu bu obele nwata” in Ibo my local dialect in Nigeria. Translation: once upon a time Jesus was a child. Very real and fascinating story that will make a child love and emulate Jesus . Remain blessed dear.

And I can imagine that his mother was very fearful that her son was putting himself in danger – with growing crowds coming to him and so many people wanting to get rid of him – they may already have heard talk of the Pharisees plotting against him. It’s hard for us to imagine what it was like to know Jesus before his death and resurrection – such a revolutionary – but your reflection helps us visualize. Wonderful to reflect and maybe meditate on.

Your script puts a very human face to Jesus. There have been many religious people, since Jesus, who were/are passionate about their faith, being referred to as out of their minds or ‘nuts’. St. Francis of Assisi was one – his father thought he was nuts. But look what happened – his love for Jesus and his mission made him one of our greatest Saints. Many of his followers emulated him, as did many of Jesus’ followers.

Have a great weekend. God bless.

You bring to the daily reflection table a moment to let go and relax with Jesus , a means to take the wonderful reflections of the week and for example in your today’s reflection look between the lives of the disciples. I wasn’t expecting this twist but had fun thinking about it.
