Readings:
1st Reading - Numbers 6:22-27
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you.
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you.
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’
27 And they shall invoke my name over the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
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.
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.
