Dear Friend in the Lord,
Mary, Mother of God: In today’s Gospel, the Messiah Child is laid in a manger, born of Mary His Mother, through the Holy Spirit. Mary is truly the Mother of the Saviour, our God and Lord. Let us pray for the graces to deepen our love for Jesus, through our love for Mary, our Mother who loves us, and draws us to Her Son.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 2:16-21
The shepherds hurried away to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.
As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception.
