CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: The Octave Day of Christmas; Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God 1.1.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the Infant lying in the manger. … they made known the message that had been told them about this Child. All who heard it were amazed … Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. … the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen …. 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.”
