CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Feast of Saint Stephen, First Martyr 12.26.18 – USCCB/ NABRE
“Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people. … they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke. … he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up intently to Heaven and saw the Glory of God and Jesus standing at the Right Hand of God, and he said, ‘Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the Right Hand of God.’ … [those opposing him] cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together. They threw him out of the city …. As they were stoning Stephen, he called out ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: The Nativity of the Lord – Christmas – Mass During the Day 12.25.18 – USCCB/ NABRE
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through Him, and without Him nothing came to be. What came to be through Him was Life, and this Life was the Light of the human race; the Light Shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome It. … to those who did accept Him He gave Power to become Children of God, to those who believe in His Name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made His Dwelling among us, and we saw His Glory, the Glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of Grace and Truth. …”
CATHOLIC FAITHLINK: “Christ Candle of Hope Prayer” – EWTN
God, our loving Father, You sent Your Son,
Jesus Christ, into this world to counter
all the forces of evil: sin, suffering and death,
and to overcome evil with the force of good;
hatred with the Power of Love,
Your Great Love for us in Jesus.
Help us never to curse the darkness,
but to join with you in bringing
Your Light into this world,
the light that is Your Son,
born of the Virgin Mary, in Bethlehem.
Help us to be instruments of Your Light
and love by doing one special act of kindness
or by being your special instrument
of reconciliation this New Year. …”

“When the Angels went away from them to heaven,the shepherds said … ‘Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing … which the Lord has made known to us.’ … they went in haste 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 ….”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: The Nativity of the Lord – Christmas – Mass During the Night 12.25.18 – USCCB/ NABRE
“… Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with Child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her Child, and she gave birth to her firstborn Son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. … Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. … suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the Angel, praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the Highest
and on earth peace to those on whom His Favor rests.'”
