according to St. Luke 2. 1–13 [15-20]

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be

taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place

while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own

town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to

Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line

of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be

married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time

came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She

wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no

guest room available for them.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch

over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the

glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the an-

gel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause

great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been

born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You

will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel,

praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth

peace to those on whom his favor rests.” †

Almighty God, who looked upon the lowliness

of the Blessed Virgin Mary and chose her to be the Mother of your only Son: Grant that we who are redeemed by his blood may share with her

in the glory of your eternal Kingdom; grant this through Jesus Christ your Son,

our Lord, who is alive and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,

now and forever. AMEN
