SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #69
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch.
(Luke 2:41)
ZEAL FOR GOD'S GLORY: Mary and Joseph went every year to the Temple at Jerusalem. Mary was not bound to do so, but she did it, because it was a work pleasing to God. The example of Mary and Joseph ought to teach us to be obedient to the law of God and zealous for His glory. God still imposes commands on us through His holy Church -- to hear Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
