The one praised by the shepherds, to whom the angels said, “Now lay aside your fears” has been born the King of Glory.
Christ is born today of a virgin.
To whom the wise men made their way, bringing gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which they offered with open hearts to the King of Glory.
To Christ the King, born as God, given to us through Mary, let praise, honor, and glory resound.
