Fifth Mystery: The Finding in the Temple

“Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”Luke 2:49
After three days of sorrowful searching, Mary and Joseph find the twelve-year-old Jesus in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Fruit of the mystery: Piety · joy in finding Jesus

Lord Jesus, you called Saint Luke to carry your Gospel to the world. By the prayers of Saint Luke, help me to hear your word and to share it gladly. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
