• THE  FOURTH  JOYFUL  MYSTERY
  THE  PRESENTATION  IN  THE  TEMPLE
  
  There  lived  in  Jerusalem  at  the  time  a  certain  man  named  Simeon.    He  was  just  and  pious,  and  awaited  the  consolidation  of  Israel,  and  the  Holy  Spirit  was  upon  him.    It  was  revealed  to  him  by  the  Holy  Spirit  that  he  would  not  experience  death  until  he  had  seen  the  Anointed  of  the  Lord.    He  came  to  the  temple  now,  inspired  by  the  Spirit:  and  when  the  parents  brought  in  the  child  Jesus  to  perform  for  him  the  customary  ritual  of  the  law,  he  took  him  in  his  arms  and  blessed  God  in  these  words:
  “Now,  Master,  you  can  dismiss  your  servant  in  peace:
   you  have  fulfilled  your  word.
  For  my  eyes  have  witnessed  your  saving  deed
  displayed  for  all  peoples  to  see:
  A  revealing  light  to  the  Gentiles,
  the  glory  of  your  people  Israel.”
