As we continue with the Joyful Mysteries, we celebrate the saving presence of Christ among us. In the Visitation, Mary carries the Savior to Elizabeth, and His presence brings joy and blessing. In the Nativity, Christ is born in poverty yet shines forth as the Light of the World. In the Presentation in the Temple, Mary and Joseph offer Jesus to the Father, and the promise of salvation is proclaimed. In these mysteries, we are called to bring Christ joyfully to others, to welcome Him with humble hearts, and to dedicate our lives to the will of God. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Visitation, the Nativity, and the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.

Concluding the Joyful Mysteries and entering into the Luminous Mysteries, we follow the unfolding revelation of Christ’s identity. In the Presentation at the Temple, the Infant Jesus is offered to the Father, fulfilling the Law and shining forth as the promised Savior. In the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, we behold the young Jesus in His Father’s house, revealing divine wisdom and reminding us that He is always about His Father’s work. In the Baptism of Jesus, we witness the beginning of His public ministry, as the Holy Spirit descends and the Father proclaims Jesus as His beloved Son. In these mysteries, we are called to dedicate ourselves to God, to seek Him with faithful hearts, and to embrace our identity as beloved children of the Father. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Presentation in the Temple, the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, and the Baptism of Jesus. We will be praying three decades of the Rosary.

Mary gave consent to Jesus’ sacrifice in the mystery of the Annunciation, but in the mystery of the Presentation, God asks her to recommit to this solemn sacrifice. Fr. Mark-Mary tells us that in every moment, God is asking us to recommit ourselves to him and be faithful, as Mary does at Jesus’ Presentation. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
