00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, peace be with you, and Happy New Year, as we start the year together in faith, hope, and love.
00:25Today, the Church puts before us Mary, the Mother of God, as a model of faith and trust. It is the feast of the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
00:36So we bring all who is in our life, all that's in our life, into the celebration. First of all, we acknowledge our sins, more importantly, the mercy, the compassion, and the love of God.
00:46Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and lead us into healing and life everlasting.
01:00Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you.
01:10We give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, Heavenly King, O God Almighty Father, Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
01:19Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
01:27You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
01:36For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
01:47Let us pray.
01:49O God, who through the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary, bestowed on the human race the grace of eternal salvation,
02:00grant, we pray, that we may experience the intercession of her, for whom we were found worthy to receive the author of life,
02:08our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
02:19A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians.
02:25I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to lead a life worthy of your vocation.
02:32Bear with one another charitably in complete selflessness, gentleness and patience.
02:39Do all you can to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together.
02:45There is one body, one Spirit, just as you were all called into one and the same hope when you were called.
02:54There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, who is Father of all, over all, through all and within all.
03:04Each one of us, however, has been given his own share of grace, given as Christ allotted it.
03:13To some, his gift was that they should be apostles, to some prophets, to some evangelists, to some pastors and teachers,
03:24so that the saints together make a unity in the work of service, building up the body of Christ.
03:31In this way, we are all to come to unity in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God,
03:39until we become the perfect person, fully mature and with the fullness of Christ himself.
03:48The word of the Lord.
03:50Thanks be to God.
03:52The Lord is my shepherd.
03:54There is nothing I shall want.
03:56The Lord is my shepherd.
03:58There is nothing I shall want.
03:59The Lord is my shepherd.
04:02There is nothing I shall want.
04:04Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
04:08Yet, restful waters, he leads me to revive my drooping spirit.
04:12The Lord is my shepherd.
04:14There is nothing I shall want.
04:16He guides me along the right path.
04:18He is true to his name.
04:20If I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would I fear.
04:24You are there with your crook and your staff.
04:26With these, you give me comfort.
04:28The Lord is my shepherd.
04:30There is nothing I shall want.
04:32You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes.
04:36My head you have anointed with oil.
04:39My cup is overflowing.
04:42The Lord is my shepherd.
04:43There is nothing I shall want.
04:46Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.
04:50In the Lord's own house shall I dwell forever and ever.
04:53The Lord is my shepherd.
04:56There is nothing I shall want.
05:01And there is a second reading from Galatians.
05:05God sent his son born of a woman.
05:10When the appointed time came, God sent his son born of a woman, born a subject of the law,
05:16to redeem the subjects of the law and to enable us to be adopted as sons and daughters.
05:21The proof that you are children of God is that God sent the spirit of his son unto our hearts,
05:29the spirit that cries, Abba, Father.
05:32And it is that which makes you a son or daughter.
05:35You are not a slave anymore.
05:38And if God has made you son or daughter, then he has made you heir.
05:43The word of the Lord.
05:45Thanks be to God.
05:47Alleluia, alleluia.
05:50You have one Father, your Father in heaven.
05:54You have one teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ.
05:57Alleluia.
05:58Alleluia.
05:58Alleluia.
06:05The Lord be with you.
06:11A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
06:14Glory to you, the Lord.
06:17The shepherds hurried away to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the manger.
06:24When they saw the child, they repeated what they had been told about him.
06:29And everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds had to say.
06:35As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.
06:41And the shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen.
06:47It was exactly as they had been told.
06:51When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus,
06:57the name the angel had given him before his conception.
07:01The gospel of the Lord.
07:06Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
07:08We face the future with great hope.
07:15There's a beautiful prayer of abandonment.
07:18I do not know where I'm going.
07:20I don't know what lies before me.
07:23It doesn't matter as long as I'm lost in the heart of my creator.
