A capacity to consider events in the light of faith; a humility that knows how to listen and respond to God with dedication.<\/p>\n<p>With this, the Pope points out, the reason for Mary's rejoicing is reaffirmed: <em>\"Joy comes from grace, that is, from communion with God, from having such a vital connection with Him, from being indwelt by the Holy Spirit, totally shaped by God's action.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mary gives herself with complete trust to the word announced to her by God's messenger and becomes the model and mother of all believers. Faith is, therefore, trust, but it also implies a certain degree of obscurity. Mary opens herself totally to God, she succeeds in accepting the divine will, even if it is mysterious, even if it often does not correspond to her own will and is a sword that pierces the soul.\"<\/p>\n<p>Benedict XVI points out, <em>\"<\/em>He does not consider it superficially, but pauses and allows it to penetrate his mind and heart in order to understand what the Lord wants of it, the meaning of the proclamation.<\/p>\n<h3>In the second of the Joyful Mysteries, we recall the Visitation of Our Lady to her cousin St. Elizabeth.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Luke 1:39-42 In those days Mary set out and went in haste into the hill country to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, that the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; and she cried out with a loud voice and said, \"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mary is an example of love and humility<\/h3>\n<p>The humility of the Virgin Mary, says St. Bernard, is the foundation and guardian of all the virtues. And rightly so, for without humility no virtue is possible in the soul.<\/p>\n<p>All virtues vanish if humility disappears. On the contrary, said St. Francis de Sales, <strong>God is such a friend of humility that he immediately goes wherever he sees it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_48\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column_124  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_6\">\n<p><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25695\" title=\"Joyful mysteries holy rosary\" src=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario.jpg 980w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Papa-Francisco-Rezando-el-Santo-Rosario.jpg 480w\" alt=\"Misterios gozosos santo rosario\" width=\"1140\" height=\"570\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_49\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_5 et_pb_column_127  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_46  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h3>In the third of the Joyful Mysteries we remember the Birth of the Son of God in Bethlehem.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Luke 2:1-7: It happened that in those days an edict went out from Caesar Augustus ordering that the whole world should be registered. This first census took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria.<br \/>And they went every one to register, every man to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to register with Mary his wife, who was with child.<\/li>\n<li>And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days of her childbearing were fulfilled, and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because they had no room in the inn. Jesus was born in the humility of a stable to a poor family.<\/li>\n<li>Catechism of the Catholic Church, 525: Those simple shepherds are the first witnesses of the event.
