The Joyful Mysteries



The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple


The fourth joyful mystery...the presentation in the temple. Though there was no need for purification for herself, Mary went to pay the price required of her, because it was the law. She "rendered unto Caesar"--and without grousing about it. Help me to do my duty as cheerfully as Mary.



Our Father,

Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, now and forever. Amen.

Hail, Mary
