4th - The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

Mary took Jesus to the temple to be presented to the Father.
Simeon told Mary of the future sufferings of Jesus and Mary.
Joseph, in his sorrow at hearing of the sufferings, was comforted by the joy that so many souls would be redeemed.
They returned to Galilee to the town of Nazareth and Jesus grew in wisdom and strength.
Mary, with such love, beheld her precious Son!
She gazed into His precious baby eyes.
Simeon predicted that her heart would be pierced with a sword.
Her heart would be pierced with a sword for, just as she held His baby body at birth, she would hold his lifeless body under the cross.
How well Mary would know the Heart of Jesus! She would ponder all the events of His life in her Heart.
It is through her most loving Heart that we grow in fervent love for His Heart.
