In the homily Fr Michael noted in trying to answer 'what this story was doing there' that the Gospel of Luke begins and ends in the temple and so this placing of Jesus in the Temple prepares for the transition into to his Baptism and adult ministry. This of course links with the First reading and the psalm - they are happy who dwell in your house. I resisted the idea of repeating Brahms' 'How lovely is thy dwelling place'.
