The Passion Gospel, which we have just heard, is a very sober account, with little appeal to our emotions. Our culture tends to make much of emotions: how we feel about things. The story of the Passion is like someone in shock saying what happened.

Two Gospels are given for today. We have just heard St Luke’s account of the finding of Jesus in the Temple after being lost for three days (Luke 2:41-51). The other is from St Matthew – when Mary is found to be with child through the Holy Spirit and St Joseph receives the news of this through the message of an Angel in a dream (Matt 1:16, 18-21.24).
