Readings of the day
Joyful Mysteries
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
Jesus, I Trust in You
Jesus, I trust in you.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Traditional aspiration of the Divine Mercy devotion
