First Reading
Isaiah 9:1-6
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom
a light has shone.
You have brought them abundant joy
and great rejoicing,
as they rejoice before you as at the harvest,
as people make merry when dividing spoils.
For the yoke that burdened them,
the pole on their shoulder,
and the rod of their taskmaster
you have smashed, as on the day of Midian.
For every boot that tramped in battle,
every cloak rolled in blood,
will be burned as fuel for flames.
For a child is born to us, a son is given us;
upon his shoulder dominion rests.
They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero,
Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.
His dominion is vast
and forever peaceful,
from Davids throne, and over his kingdom,
which he confirms and sustains
by judgment and justice,
both now and forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!
Primera Lectura
Isaías 9, 1-3. 5-6
El pueblo que caminaba en tinieblas
vio una gran luz;
sobre los que vivían en tierra de sombras,
una luz resplandeció.
Engrandeciste a tu pueblo
e hiciste grande su alegría.
Se gozan en tu presencia como gozan al cosechar,
como se alegran al repartirse el botín.
Porque tú quebrantaste su pesado yugo,
la barra que oprimía sus hombros y el cetro de su tirano,
como en el día de Madián.
Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un hijo se nos ha dado;
lleva sobre sus hombros el signo del imperio y su nombre será:
Consejero admirable, Dios poderoso,
Padre sempiterno, Príncipe de la paz;
para extender el principado con una paz sin límites
sobre el trono de David y sobre su reino;
para establecerlo y consolidarlo
con la justicia y el derecho, desde ahora y para siempre.
El celo del Señor lo realizará.

Second Reading
Titus 2:11-14
Beloved:
The grace of God has appeared, saving all
and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires
and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age,
as we await the blessed hope,
the appearance of the glory of our great God
and savior Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness
and to cleanse for himself a people as his own,
eager to do what is good.
Segunda Lectura
Titus 2, 11-14
Querido hermano: La gracia de Dios se ha manifestado para salvar a todos los hombres y nos ha enseñado a renunciar a la irreligiosidad y a los deseos mundanos, para que vivamos, ya desde ahora, de una manera sobria, justa y fiel a Dios, en espera de la gloriosa venida del gran Dios y Salvador, Cristo Jesús, nuestra esperanza. Él se entregó por nosotros para redimirnos de todo pecado y purificarnos, a fin de convertirnos en pueblo suyo, fervorosamente entregado a practicar el bien..
Gospel Acclamation
Luke 2:10-11
I proclaim to you good news of great joy:
today a Savior is born for us,
Christ the Lord.
Aclamación antes del Evangelio
Lucas 2, 10. 11
Vengo a comunicarles una buena nueva:
hoy nació para ustedes un Salvador que es Cristo Señor.
Gospel
Luke 2:1-14
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that the whole world should be enrolled.
This was the first enrollment,
when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.
And 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.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were struck with great fear.
The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid;
for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
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.”
Evangelio
Lucas 2, 1-14
Por aquellos días, se promulgó un edicto de César Augusto,
que ordenaba un censo de todo el imperio.
Este primer censo se
hizo cuando Quirino era gobernador de Siria.
Todos iban a empadronarse, cada uno en su propia ciudad;
así es que también José, perteneciente a la casa y familia de David,
se dirigió desde la ciudad de Nazaret, en Galilea, a la ciudad de David, llamada Belén, para empadronarse, juntamente con María,
su esposa, que estaba encinta.
Mientras estaban ahí,
le llegó a María el tiempo de dar a luz y tuvo a su hijo primogénito;
lo envolvió en pañales y lo recostó en un pesebre,
porque no hubo lugar para ellos en la posada.
En aquella región había unos pastores que pasaban la noche en el campo, vigilando por turno sus rebaños.
Un ángel del Señor se les apareció
y la gloria de Dios los envolvió con su luz
y se llenaron de temor.
El ángel les dijo:
No teman. Les traigo una buena noticia, que causará gran alegría a todo el pueblo:
hoy les ha nacido, en la ciudad de David, un salvador, que es el Mesías, el Señor.
Esto les servirá de señal:
encontrarán al niño envuelto en pañales y recostado en un pesebre.
De pronto se le unió al ángel una multitud del ejército celestial,
que alababa a Dios, diciendo:
¡Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los hombres de buena voluntad!
