Joye VIII
The Joy of Finding Jesus in the Temple
The prayer recalls the joy of finding the lost child Jesus in the Temple and closes with the Hail Mary.
Comfort my weary, distraught heart for the joy you felt when you found your dear child again—the one you had lost—and, Lady, you found him in the Temple. Hail Mary.

Reconfortes mon las cuer esperdu Pour la joye que eus quant retrouvas Ton chier enfant que avoyes perdu, Et au Temple, Dame, tu le trouvas. Ave Maria.
