EPISTLE
Rom 12:1-5
Brethren: I exhort you, by the mercy of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice, living, holy, pleasing to God - your spiritual service. And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed in the newness of your mind, that you may discern what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. By the grace that has been given to me, I say to each one among you: let no one rate himself more than he ought, but let him rate himself according to moderation, and according as God has apportioned to each one the measure of faith. For just as in one body we have many members, yet all the members have not the same function, so we, the many, are one body in Christ, but severally members, one of another, in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL (Luke 2:42-52)
And
when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according
to the custom of the feast, And having fulfilled the days, when they
returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents knew it
not. And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey
and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. And not finding
him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass,
that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the
midst of the doctors, hearing them and asking them questions. And all
that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. And
seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: "Son, why hast
thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing."
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 understood not the word that he spoke unto them. 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.
