Mary and Jesus were law abiding Jews, and according to Jewish
custom the Infant Jesus had to be presented in the Temple.
There they met Simeon who recognized The Baby Jesus for who
He was; the Christ of God.
This Mystery corresponds to our Sacrament of Baptism,
when the infant is brought and presented by it's parents into
the Church.
Christianity grew out of the old Jewish Law, Jesus came
not to do away with the old Law, but to make it progress
into the fullness of Truth.
For us it is a reminder to be obedient to the Divine Law;
The Word of God, and to rid ourselves of every sin that drags
us down.
By prayer, by Confession, by The Eucharist; Conversion.
Fruit of the Mystery: Obedience and Purity
May the grace of the Mystery come into our souls
