O GOD BE GRACIOUS AND BLESS US: Universalis
The shepherds found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger

CI: First Reading Number 6:22-27  
They are to call down my name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them

The Lord spoke to Moses and said, ‘Say this to Aaron and his sons: “This is how you are to bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: 

May the Lord bless you and keep you.  May the Lord let his face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord uncover his face to you and bring you peace.”
This is how they are to call down my name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.
Responsorial Psalm: O God, be gracious and bless us.
Second Reading Galatians 4:4-7 God sent his Son, born of a woman
When the appointed time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law and to enable us to be adopted as sons. The proof that you are sons is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries, ‘Abba, Father’, and it is this that makes you a son, you are not a slave any more; and if God has made you son, then he has made you heir. 

Gospel Luke 2:16-21 
The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and found the baby lying in the manger
CDR: 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 had to say. 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; it was exactly 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.

O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shed its light upon us. So will your ways be known upon earth   and all nations learn your saving help. Let the nations be glad and exult for you rule the world with justice. With fairness you rule the peoples, you guide the nations on earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. May God still give us his blessing   till the ends of the earth revere him. (Psa. 66)

Jesus I trust in you. Mother of God Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint joseph pray for me. God’s Angels and Saints pray for me. My Guardian Angels pray for me.

 Pray the Holy Rosary: Hail Holy Queen. Hail Virgin Mother of my Lord and Redeemer. Ave Maria.
