633 Meditation on the 3rd Joyful Mystery: The Birth of Jesus Christ

Meditation on the 3rd Joyful Mystery:

The Birth of Jesus Christ



In the days of Herod, Jesus Christ was born

(In a manger forlorn)

Since there was no descent lodge available

(Our Lord was born in a stable)

This is the 3rd Joyful Mystery – The Birth of Jesus Christ



That solemn night, angels invited shepherds to come to the newborn baby

(Who will shepherd humanity)

And a bright star guided three wise men to the infant

(Kingly gifts unto Him they would grant)

The fruit of this mystery – Love of the Poor



Oh God who had made flesh the Word divine

(Our Savior oh so fine)

The God who became man, the man who became God

(Who shall rule all the nations with the iron rod)

As “The Birth of Jesus Christ” had shown “Love of the Poor”



Lord God, like in “The Birth of Jesus Christ”, we want to love the poor

(This is a way unto Thee for sure)

Like Jesus – the King who had lived in poverty

(But rules mankind for eternity)

Praise God! We realized “Love of the Poor” through the 3rd Joyful Mystery.
