Gospel Reading - News of great Joy
8That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, 10but the angel reassured them.
“Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! 11The Saviour — yes, the Messiah, the Lord — has been born tonight in Bethlehem!a 12How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket,b lying in a manger!”
13Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others — the armies of heaven — praising God:
14“Glory to God in the highest heaven,” they sang,c “and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.”
. . . . .Luke 2:8-14- Literally, “in the city of David.”
- Literally, “swaddling clothes.”
- Literally, “said.”
Alleluia! Mary of Magdala said to the disciples,
I have seen the Lord!
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
