Meaning: The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
Explanation: The pictura of this emblem depicts the heart of Mary pierced by a sword, an image whose origin lies on the words that Simeon addresses to her on the day of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and which, in fact, constitute the Biblical quotation of this Consideratio: Et tuam ipsius animam pertransibit gladius. Delving into the meaning of this symbol, if the presentation of Christ is considered as a foreshadowing of his future Passion, the sword that Simeon predicts for Mary is understood as a prophesy of all the sorrows that, as the Mother of Jesus, she will suffer, primarily at that time.For a detailed explanation, click HERE (in Spanish)
