SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #70
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and men. (Luke 2:51-52) THE HOLY FAMILY: (Jesus, Mary and Joseph) in the house at Nazareth is a model held up for the imitation of all families. Love, unity and peace reigned there; no sound of discord, no evil word could be heard. the days passed by in work and prayer, and while the members of this Holy Family were occupied with their labor, they raised their hearts to God. Towards their neighbors they were modest, friendly and helpful, taking every opportunity of doing good to others.
