The Presentation in the Temple
Spiritual Fruit: Obedience & Purity of Heart
"Simeon took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation.""
Contemplation on The Presentation in the Temple
Mary and Joseph present the infant Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem in faithful obedience to the Law of the Lord.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Obedience & Purity of Heart, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
