Third Mystery: The Nativity

“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.”Luke 2:7

In Bethlehem the Son of God is born in poverty. Angels announce the good news to shepherds keeping watch over their flocks, and they come in haste to adore Him.

Fruit of the mystery: Poverty of spirit

Lord Jesus, you called Saint Thomas to carry your Gospel to the world. By the prayers of Saint Thomas, help me to hear your word and to share it gladly. Amen.
