The Third Joyful Mystery Of Our Holy and Blessed Mother Mary

The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Joseph and I came to Bethlehem because there was a decree that all should go to their ancestral town to be registered. In obedience, Joseph and I went. God even used the oppression of the Roman government to bring about your salvation: because in this time of oppression, my Son, your Savior, was born. We looked for a place but there was no room in the inn: the town was so full. What was offered us was a stable not too far from where the shepherds were guarding their flock. It was soon that my Son was born: that the King of Kings would be born a pauper. It was soon that the very Word would be made flesh. Joseph left me in the stable and went outside for a while thinking that he was not worthy to be present at such a great miracle. While he was thinking, the moment came when my Son was introduced to the world. Because of the immensity of Love that the Lord had filled me with, I felt no pain at His birth. There was pure joy at the coming of my Son. I held Him in my arms: He was the very Savior of the world. A while later, Joseph came in, he saw me with the Child and he was also filled with wondrous joy. As some time past, the shepherds that were near the stable also came. They knew about the birth of my Son: the angels had told them. Heaven was rejoicing at the birth of my Son.

My children, look upon the greatness of your Lord Who has loved you so much as to come down to show the immensity of His Love for you. Show your immensity of love for Him: be humble, be grateful for what you have, be it little or great, and whatever you do have, use it in a way that will give pleasure to my Son. See the face of my Son in those in need, those in want, and respond in love to Him. Pray to the Heavenly Father in this mystery for the gift of simplicity and for the woes of the poor and I will pray with you. I will ask the Father to give you the grace to be generous with those less fortunate.

Once upon a time before the heavens were the heavens, and the land was the land, everything was the heavens, and everyone lived in the heavens.  On this particular day in the heavens it was this particular angel's birthday, so he invited his friends over to celebrate. He swept his whole house and cleaned all of his counters. He set out some food for his friends for when they would arrive. Bowls of grapes and cucumbers, and honeydews. His favorite fruit was plums, but they were all out in the store. Plums were always hard to find.  His friends began to arrive. His friend, Jazeriel was first to arrive with his friend Lunel.  "Happy Birthday Lionel!"  "Happy Birthday Lionel!" They both said. They brought along some presents with them.   "Thank you, Jazerial, Lunel! Thanks for coming!" They came in and put the present on the counter.  "How have you been Lionel, what do you wish for yourself on this new year?"  "I wish to have more time off, ...

This was the time before the land became the land, and the waters became the waters. Everything was the heavens, and everyone lived in the heavens. In the heavens, there are angels called the Thrones. These angels are in charge of carrying God's throne. They are all really strong, with large muscles. One of these throne angels was arrogant. He thought himself better than all the other angels in the heavens. He was right, he did carry God's throne. Supporting God was all he did, all day. One day this throne angel was walking and got lost in the heavens. He called out for help but there were no other angels around to help him. He wandered about by himself. Maybe after an hour, he saw a rabbit. "Rabbit! Where am I! Show me the way!" The rabbit looked up startled, and said, "I do not know the way, I live here. My friend the racoon can show you the way, he is super smart." "Ok! Where is this racoon!" The rabbit hopped around and led him to the...

Once upon a time, before the heavens were the heavens, and before the land was the land. Everything was the heavens and everyone lived in the heavens.  An angel decided to go shopping today in the marketplace. On his way he saw his friend, Saint Christopher.  "How are you doing today Saint Christopher?"  "I am doing good, thank you Kirel."  "I am going to shop in the marketplace today, do you want to come?" Saint Christopher thought about it a moment. He did need to pick up some cabbage and soup mix.  "Alright, I will come with you. I need to buy some cabbage and soup mix."  "Haha, soup mix?" You should use a real chicken you know, not that processed stuff." Saint Christopher thought a moment.  "Yes, you are right." They went to go shopping in the marketplace together. They reached the stores and wandered around, looking at the items being sold.  "Do you need anything from here?" Saint Christopher asked.  "...
