In this fourth episode of our Women's Bible Study, we explore the fourth Joyful Mystery: the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.

Using the Old Testament to explain the role of firstborn sons and the Levitical Priesthood, Kimberly Hahn helps us understand the context and background of the rituals and law behind this Mystery.

This episode also covers the other very important elements of this Mystery such as the prophecies of Simeon and Anna, the roles of Herod and the Magi, the Holy Family's flight to Egypt, as well as Kimberly giving counsel in how we respond to God's calls with trust.

Whether you’re watching on your own, with daughters and friends, or leading a parish study, this series is an invitation to grow as a woman of faith and grace, walking alongside Our Lady.
