634 Meditation on the 4th Joyful Mystery: The Presentation at the Temple

634.

Meditation on the 4th Joyful Mystery:

The Presentation at the Temple



The baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem

(Was brought by Mary & Joseph to Jerusalem)

To be offered to God in His temple

(According to the tradition of the Jewish people)

This is the 4th Joyful Mystery – The Presentation at the Temple



There they met a prophet named Simeon

(Who prophesied that Jesus will be the glory of the Jewish nation)

And there was also a prophetess by the name of Anna

(Who prophesied to Jerusalem the coming of its Messiah)

The fruit of this mystery – Obedience



Oh God who had made Jesus Thy offspring

(Unto Thee a sacred offering)

The God who makes His Only Begotten Son

(A sacrifice for Him, for me, for you, for everyone)

As “The Presentation at the Temple” had shown “Obedience”



Lord God, like in “The Presentation at the Temple”, we want to obey Thee always

(Whatever trials & temptations come our ways)

Like the Holy Family who unto Thee obeys

(We want to obey the Lord God all our days)

Praise God! We realized “Obedience” through the 4th Joyful Mystery.
