The Glorious Birth of

Our Lord

On this day the angels left their dwellings to

honor the Son. On this day the stable rejoices, the manger

exalts and Bethlehem is filled with glory.

On this day the prophets stir in their tombs, for the dawn of a new age has appeared.

Today the Lord Jesus is born of the blessed Virgin Mary, and He has freed all people

from their captors. Let us raise a hymn of glory to the Father, Son,

and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

Proemion (Hoosoyo) of The Glorious Birth of the Lord

May you have the spirit of Christmas, which is Peace; the gladness of Christmas, which is Hope; and the heart of Christmas,

which is Love. May these gifts be yours at Christmas and

throughout the New Year. Fr. Kevin J. Beaton, S.F.O.
