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
From the Confessions
Thou awakest us to delight in thy praise; for thou madest us for thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in thee.
St. Augustine, Confessions I.1; tr. E. B. Pusey, 1838
