LITURGY

A reading from the holy Gospel accordingto Matthew

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,

but before they lived together,she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.

Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,yet unwilling to expose her to shame,decided to divorce her quietly.

Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream

and said,“Joseph, son of David,do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your

home.For it is through the Holy Spirit

that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfill

what the Lord had said through the prophet:Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means “God is with us.”

When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded

him and took his wife into his home.

He had no relations with her until she bore a son,and he named him Jesus.

The Gospel of the Lord.

DECEMBER 24, 2015 THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD—AT THE VIGIL MASS 34

We hear that the child wasconceived through the action ofthe Holy Spirit.

The phrase about Josephbeing a righteous man is notclear. A truly righteous man (inthe Jewish definition) wouldhave had Mary killed. Matthewmight have meant to say thatalthough he was righteous, hedecided to divorce her. What-ever Matthew might havemeant, he probably wants toshow Joseph as a truly righ-teous man (one who exhibitsthe traits of New Testamentrighteousness).

Joseph is warned in a dreamto accept Mary and her child.Joseph is named after Josephthe Patriarch, the dreamer, ofthe Old Testament, so like himhe received his revelationsthrough dreams.

Matthew also shows howJesus fulfills all of the predic-tions about the Messiah con-tained in the law and theprophets. Jesus is Emmanuel,a name that means God is withus.

The passage ends with ushearing that Joseph had no re-lations with his wife before thechild was born. This does notmean that they had relationsafter, only that there could beabsolutely no doubt that thechild was the Son of God. Cath-olic tradition holds that Mary re-mained a virgin throughout herlife.

What-ever Matthew might havemeant, he probably wants toshow Joseph as a truly righ-teous man (one who exhibitsthe traits of New Testamentrighteousness).

Joseph is warned in a dreamto accept Mary and her child.Joseph is named after Josephthe Patriarch, the dreamer, ofthe Old Testament, so like himhe received his revelationsthrough dreams.

Matthew also shows howJesus fulfills all of the predic-tions about the Messiah con-tained in the law and theprophets. Jesus is Emmanuel,a name that means God is withus.

The passage ends with ushearing that Joseph had no re-lations with his wife before thechild was born. This does notmean that they had relationsafter, only that there could beabsolutely no doubt that thechild was the Son of God. Cath-olic tradition holds that Mary re-mained a virgin throughout herlife.

GOSPEL: Shorter Form: Matthew 1:18-25Mary will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus.

This solid introductory text, with its easy-to-follow format, offers the reader the opportu-nity to discover a multitude of facts in each of the Bible’s 73 books. In addition, the clear and concise text will serve novice readers of the Bible particularly well. Over 100 full-color artistic renderings add to the usefulness of this resource.

In addition to a general introduction to each book of the Bible, the main headings found in every book—the Outline, Frequently Asked Questions, Study Questions, and Look out for…—succinctly point to the valuable infor-

mation contained in the pages of the Bible.

Complementing the content of these “constant” entries are vari-ous word and visual features that more specifically elucidate what is discussed in more general terms. These include over 150 time charts, maps, photographs, panoramic illustrations, and “callout” topics (e.g., “Covenant,” “Nazirites,” “Pentecost,” and “The Sec-ond Coming”).

The Appendix contains interesting summary information: “Key Ideas in the Bible,” “Promises in the Bible,” “Fifty Very Impor-tant Passages,” and “Who’s Who in the Bible.” 256 pages. Size 63/4 x 91/2.
