We're reflecting on the fifth joyful mystery of the rosary today as part of our celebration of the launch of A Catholic Mother's Companion to Pregnancy.

I find Jesus, so often, in the most unexpected places. I don't always see him as the blessing he is (I'm a hindsight sort of gal), but he's there, regardless. I've had that experience quite a bit of late, and it makes me think of this mystery in a whole new way.

Our host today is Ginny Moyer at Random Acts of Momness. You'll find my reflection on Finding Jesus in the Temple there, as well as the prayers.

I hope you'll join us today--and each day of the tour--while we pray together for all of our intentions. I have a special set of intentions that I'm carrying with me as I pray this, and I will remember each of yours as well.

Don't forget that you can enter to win a Nook tablet as we pray and help us celebrate the launch of the latest title in the CatholicMom.com book line. You can enter once a day during from now until October 28.
