You have indeed prepared a tabernacle for Yourself: the Blessed Virgin. Her Immaculate Womb is Your dwelling place and the inconceivable miracle of Your Mercy takes place, Oh Lord. The WORD becomes flesh; God dwells among us, the Word of God, Mercy Incarnate.  (Based on excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina : Divine Mercy in My Soul)

Fruit of the Mystery: Humility

 To give worthy praise to the Lord’s Mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn is more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through her streams of grace flowed down upon us.  (Based on excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina : Divine Mercy in My Soul)

Fruit of the Mystery: Love of neighbor

 When I arrived at Midnight Mass, I steeped myself in deep recollection, during which time I saw the stable of Bethlehem filled with great radiance. The Blessed Virgin, all lost in the deepest love, was wrapping Jesu in a swaddling clothes, but St. Joseph was still asleep. Only after the Mother of God put Jesus in the manger, did the light of God awaken Joseph, who also prayed.  (Based on excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina : Divine Mercy in My Soul)

Fruit of the Mystery: Poverty of Spirit

 Oh Mary, today because of the prophetic words of Simeon, a terrible sword has pierced Your holy soul. Except for God, no one knows Your suffering. Your soul does not break; it is brave because it is with Jesus. Sweetest Mother, continue to teach me about interior life. May the sword of suffering never break me. O pure Virgin, pour courage into my heart and guard it.  (Based on excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina : Divine Mercy in My Soul)

Fruit of the Mystery: Obedience

 I look for no happiness beyond my own interior where God dwells. I rejoice that God dwells within me; here I abide with Him unendingly; it is here that my greatest intimacy with Him exists; here I dwell with Him in safety; here is a place not probed by the human eye. The Blessed Virgin encourages me to commune with God this way.  (Based on excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina : Divine Mercy in My Soul)

Fruit of the Mystery: Joy in finding Jesus
