| The adoration of the shepherds. J-J Tissot. |
A child is born to us [Isaias ix. 6]
Laudate Dominum, omnes Gentes: laudate eum omnes populi: Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia eius: et veritas Domini manet in aeternum.
O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia ejus, et veritas Domini manet in aeternum. [Ps. cxvi]
innovantur naturae;
Deus homo factus est;
id quod fuit, permansit,
et quod non erat, assumpsit,
non commixtionem passus neque divisionem.
A wondrous mystery is this day declared,
New natures are delivered;
God is made man;
That which He was, He remains,
and that which He was not, He takes on,
yet suffering neither confusion nor division.
[From the Antiphon sung before the Canticle of Zachary during Christmas Lauds in the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary]
Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
