Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
534
The finding of Jesus in the temple is the only event that breaks the silence of
the Gospels about the hidden years of Jesus.226 Here Jesus lets us
catch a glimpse of the mystery of his total consecration to a mission that
flows from his divine sonship: “Did you not know that I must be about my
Father’s work?”227 Mary and Joseph did not understand these words,
but they accepted them in faith. Mary “kept all these things in her
heart” during the years Jesus remained hidden in the silence of an
ordinary life.
