The actual Communion proper, which is really in the form of a dialogue
between Mary and Jesus. It's from the Gospel passage where Jesus, at
about 12 years old, spent some time in the temple learning from the
elders there. Mary asks, "Son, why have you treated us so? Your Father
and I have been worried and seeking you." Jesus replies, "How is it
that you are seeking me? Did you know not that I had to do my Father's
business?" His Father's business is something Jesus tended to
throughout his life.
