The whole Nazareth is summarized in a single sentence of the Gospel, so short, yet so full: “He listened to them.” (…) Do you realize what a lasting heroism this obedience meant? And Jesus lived this way for thirty years! Do you know what thirty years means? With love, he fulfilled the will of his heavenly Father by fulfilling the will of his earthly father, a man who was chosen for this task.
