 Meditations on the Life of Christ (p. 89): On the third day, returning to Jerusalem, they [Mary and Joseph] found Him in the temple, seated among the doctors. On perceiving Him, she was cheered, almost restored, and knelt in tears to thank God. When the boy Jesus saw her, He came, and she received Him in her arms, clasping Him tightly, kissing Him gently, pressing Him to her cheek, and holding Him to her bosom. In this way she restored herself, for she could not have spoken while she was overcome with emotion. Then she looked at Him and said, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I looked for you in sorrow." And He replied, "Why did you look for me? It was necessary for me to be about the things which are my Father's."
