"Let us reflect that the Word left heaven,
and stooped to become man for us."
Translated by the Rev. Fr. F.W. Faber
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Excerpt from the Gospel of the
Third Mass of Christmas (the daytime Mass),
the introduction of St. John's Gospel,
also known as the Last Gospel,
read at the end of nearly all traditional Masses.
Merry Christmas!
From the Brothers of the Little Oratory in San Diego
and Chorus Breviarii
