Liturgical Colour : White

Psalm 147 : 12-15, 19-20

Exalt the Lord, o Jerusalem; praise your God, o Zion! For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your children within you.

He grants peace on your borders and feeds you with the finest grain. He sends His command to the earth and swiftly runs His word.

Psalm 2 : 7-8, 10-11

I will proclaim the decree of the Lord. He said to Me : “You are My Son. This day I have begotten You. Ask of Me and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, the ends of the earth for Your possession.”

Now therefore, learn wisdom, o kings; be warned, o rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and fall at His feet; lest He be angry and you perish when His anger suddenly flares. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

I will praise You, o Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify Your Name forever. For You, o Lord, are sweet and mild, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon You. Alleluia.

Secret Prayer of the Priest

Benedictio Tua, clementissime Deus, qua omnis viget creatura, sanctificet, quaesumus, hoc sacrificium nostrum, quod ad gloriam Nominis Filii Tui, Domini nostri Jesu Christi, offerimus tibi ut majestati Tuae placere possit ad laudem, et nobis proficere ad salutem. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

May Your blessing, o most merciful God, by which the whole creation had life, sanctify this our sacrifice, which we offer You to the glory of the Name of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that it may be pleasing to Your majesty as an act of praise and be profitable to us for our salvation. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Preface of the Nativity

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper et ubique gratias agere : Domine, Sancte Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus : Quia per incarnati Verbi mysterium nova mentis nostrae oculis lux Tuae claritatis infulsit : ut, dum visibiliter Deum cognoscimus, per hunc in invisibilium amorem rapiamur. Et ideo cum Angelis et Archangelis, cum Thronis et Dominationibus cumque omni militia caelestis exercitus hymnum gloriae Tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes :

English translation

It is truly meet and just, right and available to salvation, that we should always and in all places give thanks to You, o Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, because by the mystery of the Word made flesh, from Your brightness a new Light had risen to shine on the eyes of our souls, in order that, God becoming visible to us, we may be borne upward to the love of things invisible. And therefore with the Angels and Archangels, with the Dominions and Powers, with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing of Your glory without end saying :

Communion

Psalm 85 : 9-10

Omnes gentes, quascumque fecisti, venient et adorabunt coram Te, Domine, et glorificabunt Nomen Tuum : quoniam magnus es Tu et faciens mirabilia : Tu es Deus solus, Alleluja.

English translation

All the nations You have made shall come and adore before You, o Lord, and they shall glorify Your Name. For You are great, and had done wonderful things. You are God alone. Alleluia.

Post-Communion Prayer

Omnipotens aeternae Deus, qui creasti et redemisti nos, respice propitius vota nostra : et sacrificium salutaris hostiae, quod in honorem Nominis Filii Tui, Domini nostri Jesu Christi, majestati Tuae obtulimus, placido et benigno vultu suscipere digneris; ut gratia Tua nobis infusa, sub glorioso Nomine Jesu, aeternae praedestinationis titulo gaudeamus nomina nostra scripta esse in caelis. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

Almighty, eternal God, who had created and redeemed us, graciously regard our desires, and deign to receive with kind and peaceful countenance the sacrifice of the saving Victim, which we have offered to Your majesty, in honour of the Name of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that Your grace being poured out upon us, we may rejoice in the glorious Name of Jesus, the title of eternal predestination, because our names are written in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
