I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me, all you that yearn for me, and be filled with my fruits; for my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance better to have than honey and the honeycomb. My memory is to everlasting generations. They who eat of me will hunger still, and they who drink of me will thirst for more. He who obeys me will not be put to shame, they who serve me will never fail. They who explain me shall have life everlasting.

But thinking that He was in the caravan, they had~ come a day’s journey before it occurred to them to look for Him among their~ relatives and acquaintances. And not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem in~ search of Him. And it came to pass after three days, that they found Him in the~ temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them~ questions. And all who were listening to Him were amazed at His understanding~ and His answers. And when they saw Him, they were astonished. And His Mother~ said to Him, Son, why have You done so to us? Behold, in sorrow Your father and I~ have been seeking You. And He said to them, How is it that you sought Me? Did~ you not know that I must be about My Father’s business? And they did not~ understand the word that He spoke to them. And He went down with them and came~ to Nazareth, and was subject to them.
