Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Father in Heaven, we proclaim the Virgin Mary to be the Mother of Christ and the Mother of the Church. On this first day of the new year may our communion with Christ, Mary’s Son, bring us ever closer to salvation. Amen.
Luke 2:16-21
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.

Solemnidad de María, Madre de Dios
Padre en el cielo, proclamamos la Virgen María a ser la Madre de Cristo y la Madre de la Iglesia. En este primer día del año nuevo pedimos que nuestra comunión con Cristo, Hijo de María, nos traiga todavía mas cerca a la salvación. Amén.
Luke 2:16-21
En aquel tiempo, los pastores fueron a toda prisa hacia Belén y encontraron a María, a José y al niño, recostado en el pesebre. Después de verlo, contaron lo que se les había dicho de aquel niño, y cuantos los oían quedaban maravillados. María, por su parte, guardaba todas estas cosas y las meditaba en su corazón.
Los pastores se volvieron a sus campos, alabando y glorificando a Dios por todo cuanto habían visto y oído, según lo que se les había anunciado.
Cumplidos los ocho días, circuncidaron al niño y le pusieron el nombre de Jesús, aquel mismo que había dicho el ángel, antes de que el niño fuera concebido.
