The Fifth Joyful Mystery:
The Finding in the Temple: Mary and Joseph find Jesus in the Temple

Jesus is missing for several days and Mary and Joseph are frantic and filled with worry! Where could he be? After much searching and worrying, the find Jesus in the temple sitting and talking with the teachers and high religious people, talking, learning, and teaching. Mary and Joseph are overjoyed to have found their son at last! Through this mystery Lord we pray May we be like Mary and Joseph and though we may have been lost to you or couldn’t find you that eventually we do find you again and are rejoice and be filled with gladness and joy to once again be reunited with you! In the times when we are lost, may we be reassured that, when we come back to you or you find us, that we will all rejoice as you welcome us with open arms. We pray this in Your Name. Amen
