Gospel, Luke 2:16-21

¹⁶ So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.

¹⁷ When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him,

¹⁸ and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.

¹⁹ As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.

²⁰ And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

²¹ 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.

Reading 2, Galatians 4:4-7

⁵ to redeem the subjects of the Law, so that we could receive adoption as sons.

⁶ As you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying, 'Abba, Father';

⁷ and so you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir, by God's own act.
