REDEMPTION
This third Mass during the day on Christmas Day returns to the major Station at St. Mary Major and we hear in the Epistle from St. Paul that it was by the Word that God made the world. Let the nations and kings come and adore Him. If the Angels fall down and worship Him, can we do any less. We kneel and do just that during the very Gospel - the Last Gospel - we hear at every Mass for it is the main Gospel on this day: that of John 1: 1-14, for indeed "The Word was made flesh." The ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST completes the prophecies of the Old Testament for the promised Infant God-man has indeed come and the Redemption accomplished by Christ at His first coming will be completed by Him at the end of time when He comes again. The Last Gospel for this Mass only is that of Matthew 2: 1-2, that of his account of the Magi.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstolii ad Hebræos.
Multifáriam multísque modis olim Deus loquens pátribus in Prophétis novíssime diébus istis locútus est nobis in Fílio, quem constítuit hærédem universórum, per quem fecit et sæcula. Qui cum sit splendor glóriæ, et figúra substántiæ ejus, portáns-que ómnia verbo virtútis suæ, purgatiónem peccatórum fáciens, sedet ad déxteram Majestátis in excélsis: tanto mélior Angelus efféctus, quanto differéntius præ illis nomen hæreditávit. Cui enim dixit aliquándo Angelórum: Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te? Et rursum: Ego ero illi in Patrem, et ipse erit mihi in fílium. Et cum íterum introdúcit primogénitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adórent eum omnes Angeli Dei. Et ad Angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit Angelos suos spíritus, et minístros suos flammam ignis. Ad Fílium autem: Thronus tuus, Deus, in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitátis, virga regni tui. Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, óleo exsultatiónis præ particípibus tuis. Et: Tu in princípio, Domine, terram fundásti; et ópera mánuum tuarum sunt cæli. Ipsi períbunt, tu autem permanébis; et omnes ut vestiméntum veteráscent, et velut amíctum mutábis eos, et mutabúntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non defícient.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Hebrews.
God, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all in these days hath spoken to us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world: Who being the brightness of His glory and the figure of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the Majesty on high: being made so much better than the angels, as He hath inherited a more excellent name than they. For to which of he angels hath He said at any time: I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son? And again, when He bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith: And let all the angels of God adore Him. And to the angels indeed He saith: He that maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire. But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of justice is the scepter of Thy kingdom. Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of Thy hands are the heavens. They shall perish, but Thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment: and as a vesture shalt Thou change them and they shall be changed: but Thou art the self-same, and Thy years shall not fail.

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Joánnem †
I n princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine. Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine ejus: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. (Hic genuflectitur.) Et verbum caro factum est, et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam ejus, et glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis. |

† The Gospel recorded by Blessed Apostle Saint John †
I n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men: and the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all men through him might believe. He was not the light, but was to bear witness of the light. That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, but His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God: to them that believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Here all genuflect.) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. |
Homily For Christmas Day
25 December 2005 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
"The Mystery of His Presence"
Two Millennia ago the Word was made flesh and ever since Christ has remained the fulcrum and pinnacle of our very existence, meaning and end. Civilizations have come and gone, but Christ remains ever present on the holy altars where the True Latin Mass is celebrated and His purpose for becoming man like us in everything but sin, is magnified as a reminder of knowing God's will for us through the necessity of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
† Today we hear the most wonderful story, the most beloved and inspiring story, of the birth of the Christ Child in Bethlehem. "Thou shalt call his name Jesus," the Archangel Gabriel had told the humble Virgin Mary. "He shall be great," said the heavenly messenger, "and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 1:31,32 ).
Humility and obedience would mark His life. "God so loved the world that He sent His only-begotten Son," says Blessed Apostle Saint John. His sent Him to be born among the humble, born in a stable among the lowly animals. He would be known as "the carpenter's son." He would come from Nazareth in Galilee, of which it was said, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 1:46 ). His obedience would be shown by His perfect adherence to His Father's will: "And appearing in the form of man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even to death on a cross" ( Philippians 2:7,8 ).
The world, wanting us to forget this wonderful story, uses everything in its power to blot out the memory of Jesus Christ, "the most beautiful among the sons of men" ( Psalm 44:3;7,8 ). They find so much for us to do around the "Holiday Season" - gifts to buy, trees to trim, parties to attend, noisy music to fill our heads, TV holiday drivel for those with "itching ears," who "turn away their hearing from the truth and turn aside rather to fables" (2 Blessed Apostle Saint Timothy 4:3,4 ).
Jesus was born among us because of the love of the Father, Who "so loved the world." His deeds would be motivated by love, because this Child IS Love - - Love incarnate. There is no weapon of mass destruction, no nuclear horror, no natural catastrophe, no power whatsoever in this world that can match the power of this Child, "for stern as death is love, relentless as the nether world is devotion; its flames are a blazing fire. Deep waters cannot quench love, nor floods sweep it away" ( Canticles 8:6,7 ).
Here we speak of Divine Love, the love that comes from God and is of God, the love that is poured forth in our hearts by the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. The human emotion of love, if it is not grounded in divine love, will soon fade away or turn into something else less noble. This is the only kind of love the world knows, so it considers it normal to "love and leave," after destroying that which it seemed to love. This is not the kind of love the Lord had for us, for Jesus, "knowing that the hour had come for Him to pass out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, loved them to the end" (John 13:1).
But don't mistake Our Lord's love for indulgence or permissiveness. God is too good to punish, they say. Everybody is going to Heaven because God wants everyone to be saved. But God, although He "wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Blessed Apostle Saint Timothy 2:4 ), does not force us to be saved against our will. "God created you without you," says Blessed Saint Augustine, "but He cannot save you without you."
A recent survey done by ABC brings to light the good news that the great majority of Americans believe in Heaven. The bad news is that most of them have the presumptuous notion that they are all going there, more or less automatically, it would seem. For them cooperation in the process of their salvation is not necessary.
But, says Blessed Apostle Saint Paul: "For with the heart a man believes unto justice, and with the mouth profession of faith is made unto salvation" ( Romans 10:10 ). Furthermore, "Faith… depends on hearing, and hearing on the word of Christ" ( Romans 10:17 ). This is why the Church, on this Holy Night, makes a supreme effort to pierce the hardness of our hearts and engage our attention, so that we may hear the story of His Birth once more and begin to change our lives at last.
To awaken our faith we sing the traditional Christmas carols - Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, Lo How a Rose. As midnight approaches the priest and servers approach the nativity scene with sweet smelling incense to offer worship to the Divine Child. The altar and the sanctuary are beautifully decorated with trees, lights and flowers. As the priest and ministers approach the altar the Mass opens with the choir singing the sublime words of the Introit:
-
"Dominus dixit ad me: Filius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te" ( Psalm 2:7 ) - "The Lord said to Me, 'You are My Son; this day I have begotten You."
Once again our senses are enlivened by the sweet smell of incense as the priest incenses the altar, the choir singing: "Kyrie elision; Christi elision; Kyrie elision," - "Lord, have mercy; Christ have mercy; Lord, have mercy."
By the time we stand for the Gospel our hearts should be open once more to hear the greatest story ever told:
-
"And Joseph also went from Galilee out of the town of Nazareth into Judea to the town of David, which is called Bethlehem - because he was of the house and family of David - to register, together with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child. And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were fulfilled. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 2:4-7 ).
But we are not mere spectators at a time and place far removed from the mystery of His presence. What follows now is a mystery not of this world and beyond the understanding of men - the miracle of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. At the words, "For this is My Body; For this is the Chalice of My Blood of the new and eternal covenant, the mystery of faith: which shall be shed for you and for many unto the forgiveness of sins," we find fulfilled in a marvelous new way the words of Scripture: "While all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, your almighty Word, O Lord, leapt down from Your royal throne" ( Wisdom 18:14,15 ).
We make our way to the altar to receive Jesus Christ, the Word Made Flesh, in Holy Communion. Are we not one in faith with the Holy Mother of God, Blessed Saint Joseph, and the shepherds? We sing with the angels, "Gloria in excélsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntáti" - "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will."
That is my fondest wish and prayer for you this day in which, truly "Et Verbum caro factum est." †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. |

And therefore with the Angels and Archangels, with the Thrones and Dominations, and with all the array of the Heavenly Host we sing a hymn to Thy glory, and unceasingly repeat: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...

O Almighty and Eternal God, Who hast dominion over both the living and the dead, and hast mercy on all Whom Thou knowest shall be Thine by faith and good works: we humbly beseech Thee that all for whom we have resolved to make supplication whether the present world still holds them in the flesh or the world to come has already received them out of the body, may, through the intercession of all Thy saints, obtain of Thy goodness and clemency pardon for all their sins. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Postcommunion for God's Holy Church
O Lord our God, we pray Thee that Thou suffer not to succumb to human hazards those whom Thou hast been pleased to make sharers of divine mysteries. Through our Lord Jesus Christ.
