EPISTLE Tit. 3.4-7.
Dearly beloved, The goodness and kindness of God our Savior 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.
GRADUAL Ps. 97. 3, 4, 2
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God: sing joyfully to God, all the earth. V.: The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
Alleluia, alleluia. V.: A sanctified day has shone upon us: come ye Gentiles and adore the Lord: for this day a great light hath descended upon the earth. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (2.15-20)
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 the manger. 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.
