FINDING OF JESUS
V
THE FINDING OF THE CHILD JESUS IN THE TEMPLE

Sweet Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Finding Jesus in the Temple, when, having sought Him for three days, sorrowing, thy heart was gladdened upon finding Him in the Temple speaking to the doctors; and when, upon thy request, He obediently returned home with thee,

I humbly pray:

Our Father, 10 Haily Marys, Glory Be to the Father.


and the Fatima Decade Prayer:

O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell,

lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy.

I bind these snow-white buds with a petition for the virtue of
OBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF GOD
and humbly lay this bouquest at thy feet.

This concludes the Joyous Mysteries, today's 5-decade Rosary. At the end of the Rosary one recites the:

HAIL HOLY QUEEN PRAYER

  SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, really present in the most holy Sacrament of the Altar, since I cannot now receive Thee under the sacramental veil, I beseech Thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate Heart of Thy most holy Mother, and abide with me forever; Thou in me, and I in Thee, in time and in eternity, in Mary.

In Petition

Sweet Mother Mary, I offer thee this Spiritual Communion to bind my bouquets in a wreath to place upon thy brow.

O my Mother! Look with favor upon my gift, and in thy love obtain for me (specify request) Hail Mary, etc.

In Thanksgiving

Sweet Mother Mary, I offer thee this Spiritual Communion to bind my bouquets in a wreath to place upon thy brow in thanksgiving for (specify request) which thou in thy love hast obtained for me. Hail Mary, etc.

PRAYER

O God! Whose only-begotten Son, by His Life, Death, and Resurrection, has purchased for us the reward of eternall ife; grant, we beseech Thee, that, meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

May the Divine assistance remain always with us. Amen. And may the Souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Holy Virgin, with thy loving Child, thy blessing give to us this day (night).

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen
