The Loss of the Child Jesus in Jerusalem.
". . .and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. " Luke 2: 43-45
We grieve for you, O Mary most sorrowful . . . in those anxieties which tried your troubled heart at the loss of your Son Jesus.
Dear Mother, by your heart so full of anguish, obtain for me the virtue of chastity and the gift of knowledge.
Hail Mary...
Next Sorrow
