Jesus

From My conception up to this very hour,

I am fully aware of everything about my dear Father

I know Who He truly is, for He gave Me wisdom and power;

I think about Him all of the time, for this satisfies My mind's hunger;

My Sacred Heart is set on doing His Will, for this serves as my food;

My Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity belong to Him, for, with love, this is what He endued;

Therefore, I do not need someone to teach Me about my Father

But I glaldy allow Myself to be taught by the Holy Spirit, my Mother and my earthly Father

Speaking of My Father, my parents and I are heading towards Jerusalem right now

Virgin Mary

I almost cannot believe my Jesus has grown up so fast

The fact that He is a Boy of twelve still causes me to be aghast

Over the years, which were filled with laughs and tears;

Joys and sorrows; calmness and fears,

I have seen things I have never seen before,

For His divine mercy is plentiful, His divine love is graceful

And all of His acts are bold and wonderful,

I have heard things I have never heard before,

For my Son's wisdom is tremendously strange but beautiful,

And I have known things I have never known,

But, in my heart, I believe everything is possible in God alone

Yet, I still struggle to believe that all of these are possessed by my little Boy

My Son also possesses a heavenly amount of beauty

His brown eyes are mystically bright,

His Holy Face shines brighter than the sun's light,

His brown hair flows smoothly like a stream,

His skin is purely soft and radiant,

And both His Body and Soul are brilliant

My family and I have arrived to the Holy City

I thank You, O Lord, Who is compassionate and mighty,

For keeping us safe and throughout the trip

Saint Joseph

For the whole Passover,

We dedicated ourselves to prayer;

We refrained from things that we should avoid

And we indulged in traditions that we may have enjoyed

For the whole festival,

We have said and done everything that is acceptable;

We have done everything our ancestors have done

Meanwhile, I reflected and cherished every moment I spent with my wife and Son

I quietly meditated on their faith in the Lord,

Which was so strong that it cannot be ignored;

I lovingly studied their respect and love for our God,

Which were so childlike that I didn't care if people called them odd;

Honestly, receiving the blessing to meditate and study on everything about them

Was as precious as receiving the blessing to witness my Son's birth in Bethlehem

I also obediently provided ourselves what we needed and wanted,

Even though we gave those in need everything we received

Honestly, living alongside two heavenly beings

Is way better than living alongside kings;

I really do not deserve this great honor,

Especially since I, myself, almost refused to stand up as my Son's earthly father

Now that the Passover is finished, we are heading back home

Jesus

As my parents and I were leaving the city,

I heard a familiar Voice calling Me

"My Son, My Son,

My Most Beloved One,

I call upon You to do My Will,

Which, as I know, gives You delight and thrill;

I call upon You to share Your wisdom,

Which I bestowed upon You for the sake of Our Kingdom;

I call upon You to go to My House so that You may teach

And so that My Word may be preached"

Without hesitation,

I walked away to do the mission

During my short trip, all I ever thought of was My Family

I adored My Father with profound love and glee

But I couldn't get My earthly parents out of My mind

I thank You, Father, for giving Me parents who are loving and kind;

Faithful and devoted; wise yet humble; poor yet filled with joy

Thank You for allowing them to be My parents and for Me to be their Boy

O Sweet Father of Mine, You know Me well

But there is something I yearn to tell

I know what my parents shall endure

And all of it will happen not because it shall be their will, but Yours

O Father, My Heart is heavy because I am aware of it!

O Father, I feel terribly sad whenever I think of it!

O Father, take away this cup of suffering from them!

But, there is really nothing I can do to not let suffering come upon them

O Father, may Your will be done!

I have arrived to My Father's House, where My mission has begun

Then, I performed My mission with the help of My Friend, the Holy Spirit

Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph

Once we arrived home, we noticed something:

Our Son, our Precious Son, was missing

We panicked, we trembled, we cried and we grieved

We tried to console one another, but we cannot be relieved

We asked our relatives and fellow travellers if they travelled with Jesus

"Sorry." They said. "But He never came with us."

Virgin Mary

Thus, my Heart felt the dagger's brutal pierce once more

The first time was very painful,

The second time was frightening and truly sorrowful

And the third time is absolutely dreaful

Saint Joseph

Even if we were very tired, hungry and thirsty,

We did not hesitate to go back to the Holy City;

We did not hesitate to risk everything for our Boy

My heart was no longer filled with joy,

For sorrow began its cruel reign

And both my body and soul were broken as if I were slain,

For I believed that the loss of my Son was caused by me

I am a man who is terrible, wretched, and filthy

I am no longer worthy to be

The earthly father of the Holy One

And the guardian and protector of my Precious Son

O Jesus, where are You?

Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph

For three days, we tried to be brave and strong during this situation,

We tried to hold back our tears as we chanted, "Jesus, where are you? Jesus!",

We searched for Him everywhere with caution,

And we asked different people if they have seen Jesus,

Yet we never found our sweet Son

When hope was seemingly gone,

A Voice told us to go to the Temple

We believed and agreed that the Voice belonged to the Lord

Thus, we didn't let His message go unheard

When we arrived at the Temple,

Our hearts swelled with pride and joy

And our souls were filled with astonishment as we saw our Boy

We saw Jesus teaching the holy men and wise teachers!

He was telling them everything about our Father!

Every word He uttered was filled with courage;

Every lesson and teaching He taught was filled divine knowledge

Virgin Mary

I ran to Him, threw my arms around Him,

And, with deep respect and devotion, asked Him,

"My Son, why have You treated us like this?"

I said then gave His Holy Face a tender kiss

"Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You!"

Jesus

I saw the heavy sorrow in the eyes of My Mother,

I heard the raspy voice of My desperate and loving mother,

I felt her embrace, which was so tender that My Heart melted,

And I recognized her scent, which was so fragrant that I felt splendid

I comforted her by cupping her face, which is truly immaculate and lovely

"Why were you searching for Me?"

I asked. "Didn't you know I had to be here, to serve My Father?"

Though they did not understand my words,

They did understand that all of this was the Will of the Lord

After bidding farewell to the teachers and holy men,

We set out on a journey home again

Once we came out of the Holy City,

We stopped walking at the behest of My parents

They tried to ask for forgiveness from Me,

But I told them not to do so, for they are not responsible for My disappearance

In the end, I was the One Who said "Sorry",

Even if the right to forgive was truly Mine

The reponse of My loving parents was the same as Mine

Then, we continued the journey

See you in the next poems, dear brother or sister of Mine
