Epistle: Titus iii. 4-7

    Lesson form the Epistle of St. Paul to Titus. Dearly beloved, the goodness and kindness of God our Savior hath appeared: not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost, Whom He hath poured forth upon us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior: that, being justified by His grace, we may be heirs according to hope of life everlasting: in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Alleluia

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. After childbirth thou didst still remain an inviolate virgin: O Mother of God, intercede for us. Alleluia.

Gospel: Luke ii. 15-20

    + Continuation of the Gospel of St. Luke. At that time, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to us. And they came with haste: and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manager. And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. And all that heard wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Offertory

    For thou art happy, O sacred Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all praise, since out of thee hath arisen the sun of justice, Christ our God.
