Jesus’ growing years.

Jesus also lived in a family, with His

Mother and St. Joseph, the carpenter.

The three lived a simple life in a small town. A life full of

work and love for others.

Jesus, teach me to love and obey.

Joseph worked in his carpentry shop & built doors,

plows and other

implements.

Mary took care of the

two, cleaning the

house, cooking the

food and sewing their garments.

Jesus as a boy also played.

He also learned how to read and count, just like any other boy.

He also helped His Mother draw water, run errands and clean the floor.

Jesus worked well.

In that family, the most important

person was Jesus, because He was

God.

But the Gospel tells us that Jesus

obeyed His parents.

He liked to talk with His Father

God.

Jesus, I want to be good in order

to please You.
