Gospel
text (Luke 2,16-21):
The shepherds came hurriedly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby lying in
the manger. On seeing this they related what they had been told about the
child, and all were astonished on hearing the shepherds. As for Mary, she
treasured all these messages and continually pondered over them. The shepherds
then returned giving glory and praise to God for all they had heard and seen,
just as the angels had told them. On the eighth day the circumcision of the
baby had to be performed; he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him
before he was conceived.
Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»
