In the traditional calendar, today (1/1) is the Feast of the Circumcision. The Epistle is from Titus 2:11-15 Dearly beloved: The grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men, instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world, looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ: who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse to Himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. These things speak and exhort: in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Gradual is from Psalm 97 All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God: sing joyfully to God, all the earth. ℣. The Lord hath made known His salvation: He hath revealed His justice in the sight of the Gentiles. Alleluia, alleluia. (Heb. 1:1-2) ℣. God, who 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. Alleluia The Gospel is from Luke 2:21 At that time, after eight days were accomplished that the Child should be circumcised: His Name was called Jesus, which was called by the Angel before He was conceived in the womb Happy 2020, everyone!!!
