First Reading1 John 2:12-17

From the First Letter of John

12I write to you, little children,because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

13I write to you, fathers,because you know him who is from the beginning.

I write to you, young men,because you have overcome the evil one.

I write to you, little children,because you know the Father.

14I have written to you,fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning.

I have written to you,young men, because you are strong,and the word of God remains in you,and you have overcome the evil one.

15Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world.If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.16For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh,the lust of the eyes,and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.17The world is passing away with its lusts,but he who does God’s will remains forever.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 96:7-8a, 8b-9, 10

7Ascribe to the Lord, you families of nations,ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.8Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name.

8Bring an offering, and come into his courts.9Worship the Lord in holy array.Tremble before him, all the earth.

10Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”The world is also established.It can’t be moved.He will judge the peoples with equity.

GospelLuke 2:36-40

From the Gospel according to Luke

36There was one Anna,a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age,having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,37and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years),who didn’t depart from the temple,worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.38Coming up at that very hour,she gave thanks to the Lord,and spoke of him to all thosewho were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

39When they had accomplished all thingsthat were according to the law of the Lord,they returned into Galilee,to their own city, Nazareth.40The child was growing,and was becoming strong in spirit,being filled with wisdom,and the grace of God was upon him.

Tit 3:4-7

Caríssime: Appáruit benígnitas et humánitas Salvatóris nostri Dei: non ex opéribus justítiæ, quæ fécimus nos, sed secúndum suam misericórdiam salvos nos fecit, per lavácrum regeneratiónis et renovatiónis Spíritus Sancti, quem effúdit in nos abúnde per Jesum Christum, Salvatórem nostrum: ut, justificáti grátia ipsíus, herédes simus secúndum spem vitæ ætérnæ: in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to Titus

Titus 3:4-7

Dearly beloved: When the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared, then not by reason of good works that we did ourselves, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit; Whom He has abundantly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Saviour, in order that, justified by His grace, we may be heirs in the hope of life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 2:15-20

In illo témpore: Pastóres loquebántur ad ínvicem: Transeámus usque Béthlehem, et videámus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dóminus osténdit nobis. Et venérunt festinántes, et invenérunt Maríam, et Joseph, et Infántem pósitum in præsépio. Vidéntes autem cognovérunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de Púero hoc. Et omnes, qui audiérunt, miráti sunt: et de his, quæ dicta erant a pastóribus ad ipsos. María autem conservábat ómnia verba hæc, cónferens in corde suo. Et revérsi sunt pastores, glorificántes et laudántes Deum in ómnibus, quæ audíerant et víderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 2:15-20

At that time, the shepherds were saying to one another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. So they went with haste, and they found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger. And when they had seen, they understood what had been told them concerning this Child. And all who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept in mind all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them.

PrefacePrefatio

de Nativitate Domini

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Quia per incarnáti Verbi mystérium nova mentis nostræ óculis lux tuæ claritátis infúlsit: ut, dum visibíliter Deum cognóscimus, per hunc in invisibílium amorem rapiámur. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes.

Nativity

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, for through the Mystery of the Word made flesh, the new light of Thy glory hath shone upon the eyes of our mind, so that while we acknowledge God in visible form, we may through Him be drawn to the love of things invisible. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Throne and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
