WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY
WHITE Vestments
Missa "Puer natus est"
This Mass within the Octave is also the same as the third Mass on Christmas,
but Epistle and Gospel are from the Second Mass.
The sacred liturgy, in revealing to us the supernatural Sonship of Our Lord
Jesus Christ, which affects our souls more especially at this time of
Christmas, makes the Divinity under the aspect of Fatherhood resplendent in
our eyes.
We want to thank the Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for expediting these resources of the Propers. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Titus. Caríssime: Appáruit benígnitas et humánitas Salvatóris nostri Dei: non ex
opéribus justítiæ, quæ fécimus nos; sed secúndum suam misericórdiam salvos
nos fecit per lavácrum regeneratiónis, et renovatiónis Spíritus Sancti, quem
effúdit in nos abúnde per Jesum Christum Salvatórem nostrum: ut justificáti

Dómino nostro.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to Titus.
Dearly beloved, The goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared: not by
the works of justice which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved
us by the laver of regeneration and renovation of the Holy Ghost, whom He
has poured forth upon us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior: that,
being justified by His grace, we may be heirs according to hope of life
everlasting: in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thanks be to God.

At that time the shepherds said to one another: Let us go over to Bethlehem,
and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath showed to
us. And they came with haste and they found Mary and Joseph, and the Infant
lying in the manger. And seeing they understood of the word that had been
spoken to them concerning this Child. And all that heard wondered: and at
those things that were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these
words, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying

unto them.

Thrones and Dóminations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we
sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:

Dominus vobiscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
R.Gloria tibi, DomineCum natus esset Jesus in Bethlehem Juda, in diebus Herodis regis,
ecce Magi ab Oriente venerunt Jerosolymam dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est
Rex Judæorum? vidimus enim stellam ejus in Oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Jerosolyma cum illo. Et
congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab
eis ubi Christus nasceretur. At illi dixerunt ei: In Bethlehem Judæ: sic
enim scriptum est per Prophetam: Et tu, Bethlehem, terra Juda, nequaquam
minima es in principibus Juda: ex te enim exiet dux quæ regat populum meum
Israël. Tunc Herodes, clam vocatis Magis, diligenter didicit ab eis tempus
stellæ, quæ apparuit eis: et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et
interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renuntiate mihi, ut et
ego veniens adorum eum. Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. Et ecce stella
quam viderant in Oriente antecedebat eos, usque dum veniens staret supra ubi
erat puer. Videntes autem stellam, gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde. Et
intrantes in domum, invenerunt puer cum Maria matre ejus,
(here genuflect)
et procidentes adoraverunt eum. Et apertis thesauris suis, obtulerunt ei
munera, aurum, thus et myrrham. Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad
Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Juda in the days of King Herod, behold
there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying: Where is He that is
born king of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and are come
to adore Him. And King Herod hearing this was troubled, and all Jerusalem
with him. And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of
the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. But they said
to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the Prophet. And thou
Bethlehem, the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda:
for out of thee shall come forth the Captain that shall rule My people
Israel. Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of
them the time of the star which appeared to them: and sending them into
Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the Child, and when you
have found Him, bring me word again, that I may also come and adore Him. Who
having heard the king went their way. And behold the star, which they had
seen in the East, went before them until it came and stood over where the
Child was. And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And
entering into the house, they found the Child with Mary His Mother, (here
genuflect)
and falling down they adored Him. And opening their treasures, they offered
Him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having received an answer in
sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into
their country.
Praise be to Christ
