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
Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
V. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
