PUER natus est nobis, et fílius datus est nobis: cuius impérium super húmerum eius: et vocábitur nomen eius, magni consílii Angelus. Ps. 97, 1 Cantáte Dómino cánticum novum: quia mirabília fecit. v. Glória Patri.
A CHILD is born to us, and a Son is given to us: Whose government is upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called the Angel of great counsel. Ps. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because He hath done wonderful things. Glory be to the Father.
Collecta
Fidéles tuos, quǽsumus, Dómine, benígnus illúmina, † et splendóre glóriæ tuæ corda eórum semper accénde, * ut Salvatórem suum et incessánter agnóscant, et veráciter apprehéndant. Qui tecum.
Enlighten, we ask Thou, Lord, Thy faithful with kindness, and evermore kindle their hearts with the splendor of Thy glory, that they may unceasingly recognize their Saviour and verily understand Him.
Lectio I
Léctio Primæ Epístolæ Beáti Ioánnis Apóstoli (2,29-3,6)
Carissimi: Si scitis quóniam iústus est, scitóte quóniam et omnis, qui facit iustítiam, ex ipso natus est. Vidéte qualem caritátem dedit nobis Pater, ut fílii Dei nominémur, et sumus! Propter hoc mundus non cognóscit nos, quia non cognóvit eum. Caríssimi, nunc fílii Dei sumus, et nondum manifestátum est quid érimus; scimus quóniam, cum ipse apparúerit, símiles ei érimus, quóniam vidébimus eum, sícuti est. Et omnis, qui habet spem hanc in eo, puríficat se, sicut ille purus est. Omnis, qui facit peccátum, et iniquitátem facit, quia peccátum est iníquitas. Et scitis quóniam ille appáruit, ut peccáta tólleret, et peccátum in eo non est. Omnis, qui in eo manet, non peccat; omnis, qui peccat, non vidit eum nec novit eum.
Verbum Dómini. r. Deo grátias.
Word of the Lord. r. Let us give thanks to God.

r. Glória tibi Dómine.
r. Glory be to Thee, O Lord..
In illo tempore: Videt Ioannes Iesum veniéntem ad se et ait: “Ecce agnus Dei, qui tollit peccátum mundi. Hic est, de quo dixi: Post me venit vir, qui ante me factus est, quia prior me erat. Et ego nesciébam eum, sed ut manifestétur Israel, proptérea veni ego in aqua baptízans.”Et testimónium perhíbuit Ioánnes dicens: “Vidi Spíritum descendéntem quasi colúmbam de cælo, et mansit super eum; et ego nesciébam eum, sed, qui misit me baptizáre in aqua, ille mihi dixit: ‘Super quem víderis Spíritum descendéntem et manéntem super eum, hic est qui baptízat in Spíritu Sancto.’ Et ego vidi et testimónium perhíbui quia hic est Fílius Dei.”

Stans postea in medio altaris, versus ad populum, extendens et iungens manus, dicit:
After this, standing in the center of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he said:
Oráte, fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrifícium acceptábile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipoténtem.
Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.
Populus surgit et respondet:
The people rise and reply:

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.
