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.

About Me

Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm passionate about helping others learn to love the rosary.

I prayed the Rosary for years, as if a child. I only grasped what it was meant to do when I came across an old booklet, probably from the 1950’s, that connected the bible passages to my life with resolutions.

I'd love to get a thorough description of what the Rosary really is to each of you.
