Reading 1
Elijah set out, and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat,
as he was plowing with twelve
yoke of oxen;
he was following the twelfth.
Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him.
Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said,
“Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,
and I will follow you.”
Elijah answered, “Go back!
Have I done anything to you?”
Elisha left him and, taking the yoke of oxen,
slaughtered them;
he used the plowing equipment
for fuel to boil their flesh,
and gave it to his people to eat.
Then he left and followed
Elijah as his attendant.
R.
(see 5a) You are my
inheritance, O Lord.
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
I say to the LORD, “My Lord are
you.”
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
R. You are my
inheritance, O Lord.
I bless the LORD who counsels me;
even in the night my heart exhorts me.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R. You are my
inheritance, O Lord.
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
my body, too, abides in confidence;
Because you will not abandon my soul to the nether
world,
nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo
corruption.
R. You
are my inheritance, O Lord.
Gospel
Each
year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
and when
he was twelve years old,
they went
up according to festival custom.
After
they had completed its days, as they were returning,
the boy
Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem,
but his
parents did not know it.
Thinking
that he was in the caravan,
they
journeyed for a day
and
looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
but not
finding him,
they
returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
After
three days they found him in the temple,
sitting
in the midst of the teachers,
listening
to them and asking them questions,
and all
who heard him were astounded
at his
understanding and his answers.
When
his parents saw him,
they were
astonished,
and his
mother said to him,
“Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking for
you with great anxiety.”
And
he said to them,
“Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my
Father’s house?”
But
they did not understand what he said to them.
He
went down with them and came to Nazareth,
and was
obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her
heart.
