-IV-
The Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple
In the fourth joyful mystery we contemplate how the Blessed Virgin Mary, having completed the time of purification, presented her Divine Son in the Temple. There she meets the old Simeon, who taking the Child in his arms, prophesied that the Child had come into the world as a sign of contradiction and that a sword would pierce the soul of His Mother.
Let us beseech Mary, mirror of justice, to grant us a soul all aflame so that following the example of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we may become a sign of contradiction uniting the good and confounding evil-doers.

Our Father, Hail Mary (ten times), Glory be to the Father, O my Jesus..
