Fourth Joyful Mystery: The Presentation

Luke 2:22-40

The Presentation – In obedience to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph take the infant Jesus to the Temple at Jerusalem to present Him to His Heavenly Father.

Resolution – I desire a spirit of joy found in trusting God and in obedience to His will. I desire a spirit of sacrifice. I will obey the laws of God and His Church as Jesus, Mary and Joseph did.

Thanks – I am grateful for the free will you’ve given me, God, and joyfully obey you.

? What do you think of when you review this mystery?

…Ask yourself if you are obedient to God in all things?   … What does the Church ask of us – remember, the Church is for us, as we are the Church.   …. Remember the rest of the story? Simeon? Hannah?   … Would I recognize the infant Jesus as the light of the world as Simeon did?

After reviewing the Resolution and Thanks statements and the meditations, can you think of additional ones?
