Searching for Jesus: The Fourth of the Father's Adolescent Series Paperback – April 3, 2018

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

This “quickbook” is titled “Passover” because it’s a commentary of verses 41-42 of the second chapter of Luke’s Gospel: Lk 2:41-42. In view of The Father’s Adolescent series, the purpose of this quickbook is twofold. First of all, to describe the boy Jesus’ first pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover when he was 12 years old. To describe the boy Jesus’ experience of the Passover, up to an entire week of celebrations and rituals. These two parts of the narration set the stage for Jesus’ remaining behind in Jerusalem. Scriptural, archeological, and historical research continue to back up my study of the text, as well as common sense. So this quickbook seeks to answer these questions:-What does the Law say about Passover?-Why did Jesus first celebrate it at 12?-How did this feast shape the culture of Israel?-What was the pilgrimage like?-Why was it obligatory?-What was Jerusalem like during the feast?-What did Jesus do once in Jerusalem?-What’s the Passover about?-How was it celebrated?-What was the meaning behind the rituals?-How did Christ fulfill the Passover with his own death and resurrection?…and more.Visit below for more books in the series:www.thefathersadolescent.com

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. When I was just six, my family immigrated to the United States. I'm the oldest of three boys. I grew up in Miami, FL, lived in France for one year, and finished high school in Tulsa, OK.

I enjoyed playing soccer and ice hockey for my high school. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma.

I got involved in the university youth ministry. I discerned God’s calling to the priesthood throughout college. I visited a summer program for a congregation called the Legion of Christ in 2003. After finishing my last year of studies I entered the Legion of Christ seminary in Cheshire in September 2004. From 2004 to 2007 I completed two years of novitiate and a year of liberal arts studies. Then I completed my philosophy degree in 2009.

In October 2009, I went to Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX, as a youth director. I worked to establish a network of youth clubs, retreats, and summer camps known as “DFW Conquest”. I also attended a two-week intensive course on youth mentoring at the University of Francisco Vitoria in Madrid. I finished a fourth year assisting the Legion of Christ youth ministry in Chicago as the director of a program for college students to dedicate a year to ministry within the Church.

I went to Rome in 2013 to study theology for three years. I obtained my degree in Theology in 2016 from the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University. During his studies, I placed a lot of emphasis on my Scripture studies.

I was ordained a deacon on May 14, 2016. I was ordained a priest on December 10, 2016. From June 26, 2016 to Sept. 2022, I served as the Legion of Christ adolescent youth ministry director in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and director of Camp River Ridge, a Catholic campsite in Indiana. From Sept 19, 2022 to Sept 1, 2023, I served as an Associate Pastor in the Diocese of Tulsa, OK. As of Sept 2023, I am studying a license in spiritual theology in Rome, Italy.

All the books are outstanding READ.. and for combination of relaxation, stimulation, inspiration and discussion. The book 4 searching for Jesus and Mary and Joseph’s three day search for their son really hit home for me. I was moved she stayed out of fear, for fear does not come from God ( perfect love comes from God; fear comes from the devil) and she placed her trust in God, but yet she still did the work looking for him, she coped over her worry and anxiety losing her son in a positive way, this is a sign of maturity. this whole scenario speaks to me loudly!

Fr. Lucio’s study, research, insights and thoughts about 12 year old Jesus’ remaining behind in Jerusalem provide a straight line of sight that peers into God’s desire for the boy Jesus and US to follow His will. Well done, Fr. Boccacci!

Fr. Boccacci writes a compelling book that is easy to read and a short book. The Adolescent Series of Jesus's life is a unique way at looking at Christ's life vs. other works I have read. It does not read as a school text book or a bible study manual but as a captivating and well-researched story. My teenage son has also enjoyed the book.

I could almost feel the suffering of Mary and Joseph while searching for their son.
