First ReadingSirach 24:1-2, 8-12*

From the Book of Sirach

1Wisdom will praise her own soul,and will proclaim her glory in the midst of her people.2She will open her mouth in the congregation of the Most High,and proclaim her glory in the presence of his power. verses 3–7 are not read8Then the Creator of all things gave me a command.He who created me made my tent to rest,and said, ‘Let your dwelling be in Jacob,and your inheritance in Israel.’9He created me from the beginning, before the ages.For all ages, I will not cease to exist.10In the holy tabernacle, I ministered before him.So I was established in Zion.11In the beloved city, likewise he gave me rest.In Jerusalem was my domain.12I took root in a people that was honored,even in the portion of the Lord’s own inheritance.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20*

12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!Praise your God, Zion!13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.He has blessed your children within you.

14He makes peace in your borders.He fills you with the finest of the wheat.15He sends out his commandment to the earth.His word runs very swiftly.

19He shows his word to Jacob,his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.20He has not done this for just any nation.They don’t know his ordinances.Praise the Lord!

Second ReadingEphesians 1:3-6, 15-18*

From the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world,that we would be holyand without defect before him in love,5having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself,according to the good pleasure of his desire,6to the praise of the glory of his grace,by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.

verses 7–14 are not read15For this cause I also,having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among youand the love which you have toward all the saints,16don’t cease to give thanks for you,making mention of you in my prayers,17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Father of glory,may give to you a spirit of wisdomand revelation in the knowledge of him,18having the eyes of your hearts enlightened,that you may know what is the hope of his calling,and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

GospelJohn 1:1-18*

From the Gospel according to John

1In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God.2The same was in the beginning with God.3All things were made through him.Without him, nothing was made that has been made.4In him was life, and the life was the light of men.5The light shines in the darkness,and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

6There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.7The same came as a witness,that he might testify about the light,that all might believe through him.8He was not the light,but was sent that he might testify about the light.9The true lightthat enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10He was in the world,and the world was made through him,and the world didn’t recognize him.11He came to his own,and those who were his own didn’t receive him.12But as many as received him,to them he gave the right to become God’s children,to those who believe in his name:13who were born, not of blood,nor of the will of the flesh,nor of the will of man, but of God.

14The Word became flesh and lived among us.We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born Son of the Father,full of grace and truth.15John testified about him.He cried out, saying,“This was he of whom I said,‘He who comes after me has surpassed me,for he was before me.’”16From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.17For the law was given through Moses.Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.18No one has seen God at any time.The only born Son,who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Actuum Apostolorum

Act 4:8-12

In diébus illis: Petrus, replétus Spíritu Sancto, dixit: Príncipes pópuli et senióres, audíte: Si nos hódie dijudicámur in benefácto hóminis infírmi, in quo iste salvus factus est, notum sit ómnibus vobis et omni plebi Israël: quia in nómine Dómini nostri Jesu Christi Nazaréni, quem vos crucifixístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus. Hic est lapis, qui reprobátus est a vobis ædificántibus: qui factus est in caput ánguli: et non est in alio áliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cœlo datum homínibus, in quo opórteat nos salvos fíeri.

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles

Acts 4:8-12

In those days, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Rulers of the people and elders, if we are on trial today about a good work done to a cripple, as to how this man has been cured, be it known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, Whom God has raised from the dead, even in this Name does he stand here before you, sound. This is ‘The stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.’ Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.

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:

Almighty, eternal God, You Who have created and redeemed us, graciously look upon our needs, and deign to receive with kind and favorable countenance the sacrifice of the Saving Victim, which we have offered to Your majesty, in honor of the Name of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that, Your grace being poured out upon us, we may have the joy of seeing our names written in heaven, under the glorious Name of Jesus, the sign of eternal predestination.
