[edit] Lesson
Ecclesiasticus (Wisdom of Ben Sira) 45: 1-6
Today’s lesson is from the Book of Wisdom.
Beloved of God and men, whose memory is in benediction. He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and showed him His glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. for He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And He gave him commandments before His face, and a law of life and instruction.
Here ends today’s lesson.

Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Spirit. Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for That Which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call His name Jesus. for He shall save His people from their sins The Gospel of the Lord. |
| All | Praise be to Thee, O Christ. |

Lectio libri Sapientiae.
Dilectus Deo et hominibus, cujus memoria in benedictione est. Similem illum fecit in gloris sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum, et in verbus suis monstra placavit. Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum, et jussit illi coram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam. In fide, et lenitate ipsius, sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne. Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem. Et dedid illi coram parecepta, et legem vitae et disciplinae.

Hæc autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est. 21 Pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.
