Nazareth: the apprenticeship of living
by Don Mario Carrera
The words of Paul VI pronounced in Nazareth on the occasion of his visit to the Holy Land have always had great fascination for me. On that occasion the wise teacher appealed to his childhood years and, without any shame, the Pope said: "Oh, how we would like to go back to being children and go to this sublime school in Nazareth." In that little village, in that holy family, as in a treasure chest, God had placed the treasures of creativity: the loving obedience of Joseph, the willingness of Mary to pronounce her yes and the great masterpiece of humanity that was Jesus. It was precisely in the shadow of Joseph and Mary that, in that house, Jesus learned to be man.
