2020 06 02 - The Unborn Jesus,
A Water-spring of Divine Mercy
Why
is
a
devotion
to
the
Unborn
Jesus
important?
Well,
first,
the
Incarnated
Word
is
Jesus
at
all
stages
of
His
Life,
including
at
the
Moment
of
the
Incarnation.
In
other
words,
we
could
say
the
Unborn
Jesus
devotion
and
the
devotion
to
the
Incarnated
Word
are
one
and
the
same.
And
we
could
also
say
the
moment
of
the
Incarnation
is
one
of
the
two
main
water-
spring of Divine Mercy:
One
of
Jesus’s
teachings
to
Saint
Faustina
is
about
the
two
water-springs
where
the
Ocean
of
Mercy
flows
from.
The
following
extract
from
her
diary
reveals
what
are
these
water-
springs of the Ocean of Mercy:
“During
Advent,
a
great
yearning
for
God
arose
in
my
soul.
My
spirit
rushed
toward
God
with
all
its
might
During
that
time,
the Lord gave me much light to know His attributes.
The
first
attribute
which
the
Lord
gave
me
to
know
is
His
holiness.
His
holiness
is
so
great
that
all
the
Powers
and
Virtues
tremble
before
Him.
The
pure
spirits
veil
their
faces
and
lose
themselves
in
unending
adoration,
and
with
one
single
word
they
express
the
highest
form
of
adoration;
that
is
Holy...
The
holiness
of
God
is
poured
out
upon
the
Church
of
His
holiness
is
so
great
that
all
the
Powers
and
Virtues
tremble
before
Him.
The
pure
spirits
veil their faces and lose themselves in unending adoration.
God
and
upon
every
living
soul
in
it,
but
not
in
the
same
degree.
There
are
souls
who
are
completely
penetrated
by
God,
and
there
are
those
who
are
barely alive.
The
second
kind
of
knowledge
which
the
Lord
granted
me
concerns
His
justice.
His
justice
is
so
great
and
penetrating
that
it
reaches
deep
into
the
heart
of
things,
and
all
things
stand
before
Him
in
naked
truth,
and
nothing
can withstand Him.
The
third
attribute
is
love
and
mercy.
And
I
understood
that
the
greatest
attribute
is
love
and
mercy.
It
unites
the
creature
with
the
Creator.
This
immense
love
and
abyss
of
mercy
are
made
known
in
the
Incarnation
of
the
Word
and
in
the
Redemption
[of
humanity],
and
it
is
here
that
1
saw
this
as
the greatest of all God's attributes.
This
immense
love
and
abyss
of
mercy
are
made
known
in
the
Incarnation
of the Word and in the Redemption [of humanity],”

And that is why the Unborn Jesus devotion is important.
