Fr. Mark Mary: 我是方济各会更新运动的马克·玛丽神父，这是《一年中的玫瑰经》播客，通过祈祷和冥想，玫瑰经让我们与耶稣和玛利亚建立更深层次的关系，并成为整个世界的恩典之源。 今天，我们将默想并祈祷第四个欢喜奥迹，即耶稣在圣殿的奉献，并借助布拉格圣哈维尔教堂的一幅画作来帮助我们。这幅画描绘了玛利亚怀抱着婴儿耶稣，将他献给祭司西默盎。圣约瑟夫则将两只鸽子递给圣殿的侍者，周围有许多旁观者。 在祈祷的过程中，我们将反思圣约瑟夫如何参与和体验圣家生活中的这些事件。我相信，在耶稣献于圣殿的事件中，圣约瑟夫被邀请做出更深层次的奉献。玛利亚在约瑟夫充满爱意的注视下感到被爱和安全，她能够自由地祈祷和照顾耶稣，这都归功于约瑟夫的爱心保护。约瑟夫感受到为玛利亚创造安全和保障的责任，这也是天主对他的召唤。 然而，约瑟夫也听到西默盎对玛利亚的预言：一把利剑将刺穿她的灵魂。这预言意味着约瑟夫的任务在某种程度上注定会失败，会和耶稣和玛利亚的命运一样。约瑟夫被召唤来供养和保护玛利亚，但他也会经历痛苦，因为玛利亚的灵魂注定会被剑刺穿。 我们可以想象约瑟夫听到这些话时的心情，这对他来说如同当头一棒。他会像玛利亚一样，在心中祈祷地思考这件事，并顺服天父的旨意。在画作中，圣约瑟夫被描绘成正在献上鸽子，这象征着他内心向天父旨意的奉献。他将对天父旨意的顺服，如同在祭坛上，在他自己的身体圣殿中，献上给天父。 约瑟夫爱玛利亚，保护玛利亚，但他也知道玛利亚的灵魂将被剑刺穿。这也会给他带来痛苦，但他没有反抗，而是保持忠诚。圣约瑟夫，这位义人，在圣殿中说了“是”。 今天，让我们一起祈祷，反思一个爱丈夫听到他纯洁的妻子灵魂将被刺穿时，他的内心会多么痛苦，但他仍然保持忠诚。圣约瑟夫在圣殿中说了“是”。

We continue our series focusing on St. Joseph’s presence with the Presentation in the Temple. In today’s art, we see Joseph offering the turtle doves, artistically representing what also is happening interiorly, Fr. Mark-Mary says. St. Joseph’s heart was surely sorrowful when Simeon prophesied that a sword would pierce Mary’s heart, and yet he said yes to the Father alongside her. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Presentation in the Temple and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
