Jesus attending to His Father's business

[CClody]

In Luke 2:46-47, ALSO stays behind with the doctors of the temple to attend to “His Father’s business”. Both the Doctors of the church and Jesus, this remarkable twelve year old, feel no obligation to attend the Passover festival. My contemplation of this scripture evokes three questions revealed through Mary’s thoughts during Mother’s Joyful Mysteries:

1.) Are the doctors of the church not obligated to partake in this solemn day of the pasch?

2.) If these doctors of the temple were not obligated to attend due to their status, did this holy teenager feel equality with the doctors whom He astonished by His wisdom and answers?

3.) Was “His attending to His Father’s business” a chance to correct the doctors so He may later gather them like a mother hen gathers her chicks? Was it to advance their understanding to evangelization the Torah (to go out and return) to the four corners of the earth (knowing that a scion would be necessary to later accomplish the will of the Father?

I was gratefully blessed by the answers to my last question regarding the “Handling of Jesus by Mary and Thomas” Thank you all!
Ad Jesum per Mariam,
Chris

The Pasch was attended by them and was completed prior to remaining.

Luke 2:

41 Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, 42 and when he was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. 43 After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. … 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
