Prelude I Sing a Maid
I sing a maid of tender years to whom an angel came,
and knelt, as to a mighty queen, and bowed bright wings of flame:
a nation’s hope in her reply, this maid of matchless grace;
for God’s own son became her child, and she his resting place.
She watched him grow to manhood’s strength to meet his destiny,
and when the danger of his truth brought him to Calvary,
she stood by him all powerless to ease his dying pain,
‘til in the darkest hour of all, she held her son again.
And if the song had ended then, our eyes would fill with tears,
but ah! The song had just begun to echo down the years!
Now lift your voices, hearts and souls, to sing with one accord
to honor Mary, Mother of the Christ, the Risen Lord!

Gathering Song Sing of Mary
Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, Virgin Mother undefiled.
Sing of God’s own Son most holy, who became her little child.
Fairest Child of fairest Mother, God the Lord who came to earth,
word made flesh, our very brother, takes our nature by his birth.Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, in the home at Nazareth. Toil and labor cannot weary love enduring unto death. Constant was the love he gave her, though he went forth from her side. Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer, till on Calvary he died. Glory be to God the father; Glory be to God the Son: Glory be to God the Spirit; Glory to the Three in One. From the heart of blessed Mary, from all saints the song ascends, and the Church the strain reechoes unto earth’s remotest ends. Text: Roland F.

LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading NM: 6: 22-27
A reading from the book of Numbers.
The LORD said to Moses:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them:
This is how you shall bless the Israelites.
Say to them:
The LORD bless you and keep you!
The LORD let his face shine upon
you, and be gracious to you!
The LORD look upon you kindly and
give you peace!
So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites,
and I will bless them.”
The word of the Lord. Response: Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm Ps. 67-May God Bless Us in His Mercy
May God bless us in his mercy, may God bless us in his mercy.
Second Reading GAL: 4: 4-7
A reading from the letter of Paul to the Galatians.
Brothers and sisters:
When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the law,
to ransom those under the law,
so that we might receive adoption as children.
As proof that you are children,
God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,
crying out, “Abba, Father!”
So you are no longer a slave but a child,
and if a child then also an heir, through God.
The word of the Lord. Response: Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
©2004, Dan Perry. All Rights Reserved.Gospel Reading LK 2: 16-22 A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke Response: Glory to you, O Lord The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. 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. Presider: The Gospel of the Lord. Response: Praise to you, Lord, Jesus Christ. Homily Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became Man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Preparation of the Altar O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; yet in the dark streets shineth the everlasting Light. The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary and, gathered all above while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond’ring love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth! How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv’n! So God imparts to human hearts the blessing of his heav’n. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin. Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin and enter in be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel! Text: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Tune: St. LOUIS, 8 6 8 6 7 6 8 6, Lewis H.

With ev’ry step I take, let this be my solemn vow; to take each moment, and live each moment in peace eternally! Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
