The shepherds go to Bethlehem to see the Infant Jesus


The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)
Mass at Dawn

Reading 1

11See, the LORD proclaims to the ends of the earth: say to daughter Zion, your Savior comes! Here is his reward with him, his recompense before him.

12They shall be called the holy people, the redeemed of the LORD, and you shall be called “Frequented,” a city that is not forsaken.

Responsorial Psalm

R. A light will shine on us this day: the Lord is born for us.

1The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many isles be glad. 6The heavens proclaim His justice, and all peoples see His glory.

R. A light will shine on us this day: the Lord is born for us.

11Light dawns for the just; and gladness, for the upright of heart. 12Be glad in the LORD, you just, and give thanks to His holy name.

R. A light will shine on us this day: the Lord is born for us.

Reading 2

4Beloved: When the kindness and generous love  of God our Savior appeared, 5not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of His mercy, He saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom He richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, 7so that we might be justified by His grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Alleluia Luke 2:14

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

15When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.”

16So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. 17When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child.

18All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. 19And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.


20Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

Dear Humanity,

I personally encourage everyone to emulate JESUS' values on LOVE, FAITH, HOPE
and CHARITY, as the humanity has been a failure; which resulted to the more than two (2) years of pandemic and its after-effects on economy, not only here in the Philippines but worldwide.

And the saddest part of it, is that, it affected the POOREST of the POOR to even extremely be more poorer, in exchange of the affluent to be more richer.

Thank you and may GOD bless you and the whole family to have an enjoyed life's journey at home, Church, schools/universities, corporate commitments, public and places of interest.
