First Reading: Numbers 6:22-27

22The

Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 23Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the Israelites: You shall say to them, 24The Lord bless you and keep you; 25the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; 26the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. 27So they shall put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them. For the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

Psalm 8 (said antiphonally)

O Lord our Governor: how glorious is your name in all the earth! 2 Your majesty above the heavens is yet recounted: by the mouths of babes and sucklings. 3 You have founded a strong defence against your adversaries: to quell the enemy and the avenger. 4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers: the moon and the stars which you have set in order, 5 what are we, that you should be mindful of us: what are we, that you should care for us? 6 Yet you have made us little less than gods: and have crowned us with glory and honour. 7 You have given us dominion over your handiwork: and have put all things in subjection beneath our feet, 8 All sheep and oxen: and all the creatures of the field, 9 The birds of the air and the fish of the sea: And everything that moves in the pathways of the great waters. 10 O Lord our Governor: how glorious is your name in all the earth!

Second Reading: Galatians 4:4-7

4But

when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. 6And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba! Father! 7So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. For the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

The Gospel: Luke 2:15-21

The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke chapter two, beginning at the fifteenth verse. Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ 15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us. 16So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. 17When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. 19But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. For the Gospel of the Lord: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
