The Holy Family plays hide and seek for three days.
Fifth Joyful Mystery
The Finding in the Temple
The Lord Teaches in His Temple, and His Servants Are in Awe of His Wisdom
After the feast of Passover in Jerusalem, which the Holy Family kept with friends and family from Nazareth, and unbeknownst to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, Jesus went to the Temple and sat among the doctors and lawyers, listening to them and asking and answering questions in turn. They were astounded by His wisdom.
Knowing the whole story, unlike the doctors and lawyers, that is, knowing that Jesus is God, it is unsurprising that they marveled, since God is the fullness of all perfections and is perfectly wise. But I suppose that's a bit of a spoiler for the Judaic doctors and lawyers of the Temple.
When Mary and Joseph, each supposing Him with the other, realized Jesus had stayed behind in Jerusalem, they were distraught, as any parent would be at finding their child not among the trusted family and friends they traveled with. So they hurried back and probably set a land speed record for reaching Jerusalem on foot and by donkey. By the time they arrive three days have passed. They surely hoped someone in the Temple had seen Him, and lo and behold, Jesus is in the Temple, His Father's house.
This is the whole heart of the mystery. We can always find Jesus in His Father's house, waiting for us to come to Him.
There is a foreshadowing here too: three days of seeking Him sorrowing, and then He is found. The mother who seeks Him now will seek Him again after another three days, and find Him risen.
The fruit of this mystery is piety. If you want to read about what it means to be pious, I will not recommend the Meno, or rather the Euthyphro, where Socrates presses the question of holiness and never lets a clean definition settle; it is a fine dialogue but a dry road to devotion. If instead you want to know piety and to become pious yourself, all you have to do is go be with Our Lord. He is piety itself, and if we imitate Him in all things and become like Him, then He and His Father and the Holy Ghost come to dwell within us, and we become pious.
Pray each verse, then the Ave Maria, letting St. Luke's account of the finding carry the decade.
So the Joyful Mysteries close. Across the five, God has been made known: to Mary by an angel, to Elizabeth by the leaping child, to shepherd and scholar at the manger, to Simeon in the Temple, and at last by His own wisdom from His own mouth in His Father's house. The Word who was made flesh in secret has been shown to the world. From the hidden years at Nazareth we now turn toward His public ministry and the light of the Luminous Mysteries.
