Audio: The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) - Mass During the Night

Adoration of the Shepherds by Dutch painter Matthias Stomer, 1632. Pubic domain

For today in the city of David 
a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: 
you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes 
and lying in a manger."
And 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."

Homily for Christmas 2019 given at the Mass at Midnight by Fr. Stephen Hamilton.
