Our Lady's Seeking - Commentary on The Reed of God - Part 4

Our Lady's Seeking I spoke already about the frantic search by Mary and Joseph for the lost Jesus. And we have discussed that this quest for the lost Jesus is designed by Jesus himself so that we will always be seeking a relationship with the authentic and true Christ. But it is important that we do not lose sight of those whose life is marked by the searching that is the result of human brokenness. “If you have ever loved anyone very deeply and then lost him through separation, estrangement, or even by death, you know there is an instinct to look for him in every crowd.” We probably are well aware of the ache of a heart infatuated with another, feeling painfully when they are not with us.
