Hello -

At the time when young Jesus was ‘lost’ for 3 days and found, Mary asked Him why He had done this, followed by “See how worried your father and I have been looking for You”. I wondered what was visible that could show their worry. Or was it just the way Mary spoke to him that implied great concern. This was a question that came to mind while thinking on that mystery of the Rosary one day. Perhaps the exact answer, if we don’t know it, then isn’t that important except to know that Mary and Joseph did suffer grief over their loss of Jesus for a time. Thank you.
 
Hi,

Just the fatigue and distraught look on her face would have shown her worry. Any parent who has lossed a child would not have asked this question.
