2nd Reading – Galatians 4:4-7
Brothers and sisters:
4 When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:
5 That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.
7 So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God.
Alleluia – Hebrews 1:1-2
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets;
2 in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Luke 2:16-21
16 The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
