CRISTO JESUS LUZ DEL MUNDO ALUMBRANOS CON TU AMOR PARA QUE VIVAMOS EN SALUD SIN GUERRAS Y EN CONCORDIA. HOY 6 DE ENERO ES NOCHEBUENA PARA LOS RUSOS

ARCHPRIEST VLADIMIR VIGILIANSKY ON THE THEMES AND MEANINGS OF THE NATIVITY Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky Many Orthodox Christians are celebrating the feast of the Nativity of Christ very soon. How did non-religious Soviet people celebrate it? Why are there millions of paintings on the Christmas theme? Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky, rector of the Church of the holy Martyr Tatiana at Moscow State University, ex-press secretary of Patriarch Alexei II and Patriarch Kirill, answers these and other questions to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper. Photo: razrisyika.ru Photo: razrisyika.ru First and foremost, it’s a family story —Why is the feast of the Nativity of Christ still significant for believers and non-believers alike? What makes it so strong? —A brief yet dramatic Gospel narrative about the Birth of Christ can definitely interest not only believers and church people. First and foremost, it’s a family story. A family went to Bethlehem to take part in the census. Since there was no inn to stay, they had to hide from the cold in a cave. At that time Mary’s labor began. Another important aspect of the Christmas account is the story of the angels who appeared in the skies—the shepherds saw them and got scared. But the angel of the Lord said to them: “Do not be afraid—great joy awaits you.” Another significant detail of the Christmas narrative is the foreign Magi! They saw a star in the sky and followed it. Lastly, when this episode full of unusual events ended with the Birth of the Messiah, King Herod, who had heard about it, fearing for his power, ordered all the infants in Bethlehem to be exterminated so that the King of Judea born there would be killed with them. And this whole story, related almost on one page, never ceases to excite and overwhelm absolutely different people. This episode and its role in the history of mankind will never be ignored. Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky: The Nativity is the main Christian theme of Russian poetry. Photo: RIA Novosti Archpriest Vladimir Vigilyansky: The Nativity is the main Christian theme of Russian poetry. Photo: RIA Novosti If God was born in human form—the One Who will save us—then the division into believers and non-believers is not so important, because this is joy; one Gospel calls this joy full (Jn. 15:11), and another calls it great (Lk. 2:10). People feel such joy only when they have a living contact with God. I would advise doubting or over-rational people to go to a Nativity service and look at the faces of people in the church. Love is the cure for fear —So, for non-believers the Nativity is already such an archetypal case, and it is impossible to throw it out of global public consciousness, as it were? —Of course, it is impossible. And the Christmas story suggests another very important thing. The angel of the Lord said to the shepherds, “Fear not!” Unfortunately, we have not yet parted from fear that has permeated the life of mankind over many, many centuries. It remains one of our most important emotions. People constantly fear a wide range of dangers—whether to their well-being or the restriction of their freedoms. We are afraid of loneliness, poverty, hunger, unemployment, homelessness, natural disasters, catastrophes, illnesses—our own and those of our loved ones. Phobias, anxiety, worries and panic accompany human life. People seek protection. Any recipes aimed at overcoming fear are relevant. And Christianity gives us this recipe. It says: only love, which is born from the union of man with God, is the main means of protection. The whole dramatic message of the Nativity and all the emotions associated with it are dictated by the thirst for unfeigned love, without which it is impossible to overcome all our phobias. This Gospel story and its meaning is a very vivid thing. That’s why we are so excited about everything related to this feast. I know people who do not consider themselves Christians, but go to church twice a year: on the Nativity and on Pascha. Therefore, the Nativity has not been forgotten and is relevant in all ages. And in periods of persecution against Christians, both church-goers and non-church people loved this feast. In the 1970s I used to work at the State Institute for Art Studies and had not yet been baptized. Among the art critics of our department was a Christian, the well-known film critic and essayist Neya Markovna Zorkaya (1924–2006). She always—once a year—invited us, the whole department of fifteen members (I was the youngest), to her house for Christmas dinner. All our intellectual elite always came to her every year. It was the Soviet era, but no one, not even non-believers, could raise a voice against the feast of the Nativity. This is how the intellectuals celebrated the Nativity in the USSR, even if outside the Church. Millions of paintings and thousands of poems are dedicated to the Nativity —Christmas is represented in a myriad of works of art... —The fact that our culture is permeated by Christianity struck me even when I was slowly beginning to integrate into Church life. Without exaggeration, millions of paintings are dedicated to the event of the Birth of the Savior. For twenty centuries the Nativity has inspired artists and painters to create their own pictures. And take poetry! Back in Soviet years I started collecting whole anthologies of poems on Christian themes. Russian poetry was especially distinguished by the presence of the Christmas theme, from Mikhail Lermontov to Joseph Brodsky. Afanasy Fet, Alexander Blok, Boris Pasternak, Ivan Bunin, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Vladislav Khodasevich, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Solovyov… And Nikolai Gumilev translated poems about the Nativity. All the major poets wrote about this event. Brodsky wrote ten poems dedicated to the Nativity! I am the husband of the poet Olesya Nikolaeva, who composed five poems dedicated to this feast. Caravaggio. Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence. Photo: Wikipedia Caravaggio. Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence. Photo: Wikipedia —Do you have any favorite lines from her Christmas poems? —O my heart! Thou art the cave| Of mystery, breaking on the highest notes When the Only One, the Babe is born There, in thy deepest darkness! The Catholics and Orthodox Nativity —I once heard from a Catholic that the Nativity is a joyfully harmonious and rather “Catholic” feast in its spirit, while the Orthodox love Pascha more—drama and tragedy in the Joy of the Resurrection. —To say that the Nativity is the most important feast for the Catholics and Pascha is for the Orthodox is theologically incorrect. The path of the God-man from the Nativity to Pascha cannot be broken. The Nativity is impossible without Pascha and vice versa. To ask which feast is dearer to you is like asking whom you love more—your father or your mother. Another thing is that the Nativity as a festival is undoubtedly richer in traditions, beautiful legends, nice fairy tales and folk beliefs. The Christmas tree, a manger, a Nativity scene, and the gifts of the magi... Take the legend about how different trees bowed to the newborn Christ and only a humble fir tree stood aside... And Pascha is people’s hope for eternal life! A one-time miracle of miracles, to which everything had been going through terrible events—the Passion, unfair trials, and the murder of God. The Apostle Paul said pointblank: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain (1 Cor. 15:14). Of course, nice fairy tales and legends do not blend with all this. Why in the West they try to remove the words “of Christ” from the feast of Nativity —Recently there was a news report that in the West they point to the “too high Christian-centricity” of the feast of the Nativity of Christ. —My eldest daughter teaches at a French Lyceum (one of the Alexandre Dumas lyceums scattered all over the world). French children study there, and they are forbidden to say, “the Nativity of Christ”—only “the Nativity”. When children ask whose Nativity it is, the teachers are forbidden to answer because it can allegedly upset adherents of other faiths. It’s a strange, cunning tolerance, if not a diabolical delusion. The wonderful poet Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin (1911–2003) once told me that he was admitted to a school in Odessa in 1917 at a three percent rate for Jews. The Law of God was taught there. Of course, this subject was optional for children from Jewish families. But he attended these lessons, giving a good reason to the priest-teacher of the Law of God to shout at the school students: “Lipkin, a Jew, knows the Law of God better than you fools!” I asked him, “Semyon Izrailevich, why did you attend those classes?” He replied, “Well, I was surrounded by Orthodox Christians and I needed to know what law they lived by. Why should I remain in the dark about it?” This is still relevant today. Okay, your religion is different, but you should know what people around you are celebrating. Why should this knowledge offend you? All those strange self-accusations of the French and the Germans that “the Christmas tree offends Muslims” are a cunning deception.

MUNDO CONVULSO Y CRUEL

 

Me da miedo

Cuando sopla el terral vespertino

Un siroco que llena de arena

Los ojos

Trae novedades enaciadas

Un futuro de aljamía en perspectiva

Será nuestro castigo

Lo tenemos merecido

por no haber combatido

Somos sibaritas y pusilánimes

Suena por las calles de Madrid

El tartavelo de la peste

Y el pueblo enfermo y oprimido

Va a la ermita a venerar

A la Mujer que conculca la cabeza

Del dragón en sus calcaños

Sede de la sabiduría

Almena del coraje

Jardín de la belleza

Había en Atocha una cuadrillas de arrieros patavinos

Bebiendo todos de del mismo odre

y una vieja desde la cuesta Moyano

Gritaba: franchutes, borrachos, mamones. Iros a vuestro país

 Я ПУБЛИКУЮ «ПИСЬМА ЕЛЕНЕ МОЕЙ АНГЛИЙСКОЙ ДОЧЕРИ», КОТОРУЮ ЕДИНСТВЕННО ЗНАЮ

 

Моя двенадцатая книга появилась в севильской газете «Пунторохо». В конце 241 костяная страница и альбом с фотографиями из жизни.

Я попробовал построить внутренний роман, и вышла сатира. В центре внимания женщина, которая была причиной моего существования, но в ангельском скрыты сатанинские и трагедии: заболевание щитовидной железы Сюзанны, вызвавшее у меня психический срыв (лошадиная депрессия),

Сразу после этого я сел в свой мини с несколькими книгами и гитарой и вернулся в Испанию, бросив дом в Эденторпе и работу учителя в школе в Йоркшире, я искал работу в Испании, делал репортажи обо всем, что переехал и как Благодаря своему упорству я осуществил мечту всей своей карьеры — стать корреспондентом в Лондоне.

  Сюзанна чудесным образом излечилась от рака щитовидной железы, и это побудило меня навестить ее в Эссексе. Там меня не приняли, и это правильно. Я спросил Богородицу в разгар своего отчаяния и верю, что Она исцелила ее. Я даже добрался до Лизье, одного из святилищ, которые я посетил, всю свою жизнь излечивая от рака.

  Эта книга — судорожный шлейф страданий и сожалений, очерк безумия и благодарность провидению, спасшему меня от стольких опасностей, моего грешника. Боль истощения витает над его страницами. Я раскаиваюсь в том, что был подлецом.

  Кстати. Я непримиримо критикую упрямый феминизм, который не позволяет родителям видеться со своими детьми, что является причиной многих споров и даже убийств. Его брак с Сюзанной был расторгнут церковью, и она получила запретительный судебный приказ.

Девушку Елену объявили под защиту ювенального суда. Это означало, что мне не разрешат видеться с ней, но мой бывший отказался от алиментов и расходов на проживание.

Я думаю, что одной из причин неудачи моего брака была моя бедность. Она принадлежала к лондонскому высшему классу, а я был бедным влюбленным студентом. Я думаю, что я все еще здесь. Что ж, любовь побеждает смерть.

Катастрофические события заставили меня снова жениться через церковь в Испании. С этим браком я попал в портативный ад, в комнату ужасов, пыток, невнимательности, презрения и даже рогоносцев, но здесь я тоскую по той английской любви, которая заставляла меня мечтать, которая побуждала меня писать.

  Сегодня Хелен — красивая работница по уходу за детьми, работающая в лучшем родильном доме города Темзы, а Сюзанна — красивая семидесятилетняя женщина с седыми волосами и древовидной улыбкой.

Да благословит Бог их обоих

Эта последняя книга представляет собой вершину объемистого айсберга неопубликованных статей. Я бью по клавишам уже более шестидесяти лет и, вцепившись в них, умру. Да здравствует любовь, я яростно ударю двадцать четыре белые пули, которые лишат меня последнего вздоха.

 I am publishing “Letters to Helen, my English daughter,” whom I barely knew

My twelfth book appears in the Sevillian newspaper Puntorojo. There are 241 bone pages and at the end an album with photos of a lifetime.

I tried to build an internal novel and the result was a satire. It focuses on a woman who was the reason for my existence, but hidden within the angel is the satanic and the tragedy: Suzanne's thyroid disease, which caused me to have a mental breakdown (equine depression),

Immediately afterwards I got into my Mini with a few books and a guitar and returned to Spain, giving up my house in Edenthorpe and my job as a teacher at a school in Yorkshire, looking for work in Spain and writing reports on everything that entailed moved and how Through my persistence I realized my career dream of becoming a correspondent in London.

   Suzanne had made a miraculous recovery from thyroid cancer and this encouraged me to visit her in Essex. They didn't welcome me, and rightly so. I asked the Virgin in the midst of my despair and I believe that she healed me. I even reached Lisieux, one of the shrines I visited and whose healing meant my life to cure cancer.

   This book is a convulsive train of misery and regret, an account of madness and a gratitude to the Providence that has saved me, my sinner, from so many dangers. The pain of attrition hovers over his sides. I am remorseful for having been a villain.

   By the way. I unforgivingly criticize the stubborn feminism that prevents parents from seeing their children and is the cause of many disputes and even murders. His marriage to Suzanne was dissolved by the church and she obtained a restraining order.

The girl Helen was placed under the protection of the juvenile court. This meant that I wasn't allowed to see her, but my ex waived alimony and living expenses.

I think one of the reasons my marriage failed was my poverty. She was upper class in London and I was a poor, lovelorn student. I think I still am. Well, love conquers death.

Disastrous events led me to remarry in church in Spain. With this marriage, I entered a portable hell, a chamber of horrors, torture, ruthlessness, contempt, and even cuckoldry, but here I long for the English love that made me dream and that made me write.

   Today Helen is a beautiful childcare worker working in the city's best maternity hospital on the Thames, and Suzanne is a beautiful septuagenarian with gray hair and a tree-like smile.

God bless them both

This final book is the crest of an extensive iceberg of unpublished work. I've been pressing the keys for over sixty years and if I hold on to it, I'll die. Long live love, I will fire furiously at the twenty-four white cartridges that will take my last breath away.

 Ich veröffentliche „Briefe an Helen, meine englische Tochter“, die ich kaum kannte

Mein zwölftes Buch erscheint in der sevillanischen Zeitung Puntorojo. Es gibt 241 Knochenseiten und am Ende ein Album mit Fotos eines Lebens.

Ich habe versucht, einen internen Roman aufzubauen, und dabei ist eine Satire herausgekommen. Es konzentriert sich auf eine Frau, die der Grund für meine Existenz war, aber in dem Engel sind das Satanische und die Tragödie verborgen: Suzannes Schilddrüsenerkrankung, die bei mir einen geistigen Zusammenbruch verursachte (Pferdedepression),

Unmittelbar danach stieg ich in meinen Mini mit ein paar Büchern und einer Gitarre und kehrte nach Spanien zurück, gab mein Haus in Edenthorpe und meinen Job als Lehrerin an einer Schule in Yorkshire auf, suchte Arbeit in Spanien und verfasste Berichte über alles, was dazu gehörte bewegt und wie Durch meine Hartnäckigkeit verwirklichte ich den Traum meiner Karriere, Korrespondent in London zu werden.

  Suzanne hatte sich auf wundersame Weise von ihrem Schilddrüsenkrebs erholt und das ermutigte mich, sie in Essex zu besuchen. Sie hießen mich nicht willkommen, und das zu Recht. Ich habe die Jungfrau inmitten meiner Verzweiflung gefragt und ich glaube, dass sie sie geheilt hat. Ich erreichte sogar Lisieux, eines der Heiligtümer, die ich besuchte und deren Heilung mein Leben für die Heilung von Krebs bedeutete.

  Dieses Buch ist ein krampfhafter Zug aus Elend und Bedauern, ein Abriss des Wahnsinns und eine Dankbarkeit gegenüber der Vorsehung, die mich, meine Sünderin, vor so vielen Gefahren bewahrt hat. Der Schmerz der Zermürbung schwebt über seinen Seiten. Ich bin reuig darüber, ein Schurke gewesen zu sein.

  Übrigens. Ich kritisiere unversöhnlich den hartnäckigen Feminismus, der Eltern daran hindert, ihre Kinder zu sehen, und der die Ursache vieler Streitigkeiten und sogar Morde ist. Seine Ehe mit Suzanne wurde von der Kirche aufgelöst und sie erwirkte eine einstweilige Verfügung.

Das Mädchen Helen wurde unter den Schutz des Jugendgerichts gestellt. Das bedeutete, dass ich sie nicht sehen durfte, meine Ex jedoch auf Unterhalt und Lebenshaltungskosten verzichtete.

Ich glaube, einer der Gründe für das Scheitern meiner Ehe war meine Armut. Sie gehörte zur Londoner Oberschicht und ich war ein armer, verliebter Student. Ich glaube, das bin ich immer noch. Nun, die Liebe besiegt den Tod.

Katastrophale Ereignisse führten dazu, dass ich in Spanien erneut kirchlich heiratete. Mit dieser Heirat betrat ich eine tragbare Hölle, eine Kammer des Schreckens, der Folter, der Rücksichtslosigkeit, der Verachtung und sogar der Hahnrei, aber hier sehne ich mich nach der englischen Liebe, die mich zum Träumen brachte und die mich zum Schreiben veranlasste.

  Heute ist Helen eine wunderschöne Kinderbetreuerin, die in der besten Entbindungsklinik der Stadt an der Themse arbeitet, und Suzanne ist eine wunderschöne Siebzigjährige mit grauem Haar und einem baumähnlichen Lächeln.

Gott segne sie beide

Dieses letzte Buch ist der Gipfel eines umfangreichen Eisbergs unveröffentlichter Arbeiten. Ich drücke seit mehr als sechzig Jahren in die Tasten und wenn ich mich daran festhalte, werde ich sterben. Es lebe die Liebe, ich werde wütend auf die vierundzwanzig weißen Patronen schießen, die mir den letzten Atem rauben werden.

THESE TWO WOMEN WERE THE REASON OF MY LIFE O LORD KEEP THEM IN HEALTH HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY AND FORGIVE MY SINS

 PUBLICO “CARTAS A HELEN MI HIJA INGLESA” A QUIEN APENAS CONOCÍ

 

En la esitrorial sevillana Puntorojo sale a la luz mi duodécimo libro. Son 241 paginas en hueso y un álbum con fotos de una vida al final.

Traté de construir una novela interior y me ha salido una satira. Se centra en una mujer que fue la razón de mi existir, pero en lo angélico se oculta lo satánico y la tragedia: una enfermedad del tiroides de Suzanne que me causó un mental break down (una depresión de caballo),

Acto seguido, monté en mi mini con unos cuantos libros y una guitarra y me volvía para España abandonando mi casa en Edenthorpe y el empleo de profesor en un colegio del Yorkshire, busqué trabajo en España, hice reportajes a todo lo que se movía y como resultado a mi tesón conseguí el sueño de mi carrera ser corresponsal en Londres.

 Suzanne había mejorado milagrosamente de su cáncer  tiroideo y eso me animó a visitarla en Essex, no me recibieron y con razón. Se lo pedí a la Virgen en medio de mi desesperación y creo que Ella la curó. Llegué incluso en Lisieux, uno de los santuarios que visité,ofreciendo mi vida a cambio de su curación del cáncer.

 Este libro  son unos trenos convulsos de misereres y arrepentimientos, un esquema de la locura, y un agradecimiento a la providencia que me salvó de tantos peligros, pecador de mí. Flota sobre sus páginas el dolor de atrición. Contrito estoy por haber sido un canalla.

 De paso. Hago una crítica implacable al feminismo torcaz que impide a los padres ver a sus hijos, siendo esto el origen de muchísimas querellas e incluso de asesinatos. El matrimonio con Suzanne se disolvió por la iglesia y ella obtuvo una orden de alejamiento.

La niña Helen fue declarada bajo la protección del tribunal de menores. Ello significaba que no se me permitiría verla pero mi ex renunció a la alimonia o gastos de manutención. Porque yo era muy pobre.

Creo que una de las razones del fracaso de mi matrimonio fue mi pobreza. Ella pertenecía a la high class londinense y yo era un piernas, un pobre estudiante enamorado hasta la patas. Creo que lo sigo estando. Pues el amor vence a la muerte.

Hechos calamitosos me llevaron a contraer nupcias de nuevo por la iglesia en España. Ingresé, con ese casamiento, en un infierno portátil, cámara de los horrores, suplicios, desconsideraciones, desprecios e incluso cuernos, pero aquí estoy añorando aquel amor inglés, que me hizo soñar, que me impulsó a escribir.

 Helen hoy es una guapa puericultora que trabaja en la mejor maternidad de la ciudad del Támesis y Suzanne un bellísima septuagenaria con el pelo cano y su sonrisa arborescente.

God bless them both

Este último libro es la cresta de un iceberg voluminoso de papeles inéditos. Llevo dándole a las teclas más de sesenta años y aferrado a ellas moriré. Viva el amor, golpearé con furia las veinticuatro redondas blancas que se llevarán mi postrer aliento.

Las Fuerzas Armadas rusas, en respuesta al ataque de Kiev contra el centro de Bélgorod, lanzaron misiles contra el antiguo hotel 'Járkov Palace', donde se encontraban representantes del Ejército de Ucrania y de la Dirección Principal de Inteligencia (GUR, por sus siglas en ucraniano), revelaron desde el Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia.

"En respuesta a este acto terrorista, las tropas asestaron golpes a centros de toma de decisiones e instalaciones militares de la ciudad de Járkov, utilizados por el régimen criminal de Kiev", comunicaron desde el organismo castrense.

Un ataque con misiles de alta precisión contra el antiguo complejo hotelero Járkov Palace eliminó a representantes de la Dirección Principal de Inteligencia del Ministerio de Defensa de Ucrania y de las FFAA que participaron directamente en la planificación y ejecución del atentado terrorista en Bélgorod. También había hasta 200 mercenarios que iban a participar en incursiones terroristas en el territorio de Rusia fronterizo con Ucrania.

"Los ataques con misiles de alta precisión contra el edificio del Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania en la región de Járkov y el punto de despliegue temporal de la formación nacionalista Pravi Sektor, eliminaron a representantes del Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania, mercenarios y miembros de la unidad de fuerzas especiales Kraken, que participaban directamente en la preparación de operaciones de sabotaje en territorio ruso", informaron.

Asimismo, ataques de alta precisión alcanzaron una sucursal del centro nacional de control espacial, cerca del pueblo de Zalestsi en la región de Jmelnitski, que es utilizado por las Fuerzas Armadas ucranianas para tareas de reconocimiento. Fueron destruidas bases de combustible en las regiones de Járkov y Zaporozhie, desde las que se abastecía a grupos de tropas ucranianas en dirección a Járkov y Oréjov.

Además, se lanzaron ataques con misiles contra emplazamientos de despliegue temporal de las unidades de la 59.ª Brigada de Infantería Motorizada y de la 79.ª Brigada de Asalto Aerotransportada de las tropas ucranianas y de mercenarios que sumaban hasta 600 combatientes, así como contra los lugares donde estaban estacionados equipos militares y sistemas de artillería en varios asentamientos de la república popular de Donetsk.

Como resultado, Kiev sufrió importantes pérdidas. Además, fueron destruidos dos lanzaderas Himars, con cuya ayuda "el régimen de Kiev planeaba lanzar ataques con misiles contra la ciudad rusa de Donetsk durante las fiestas de Año Nuevo".

"Insistimos una vez más en que las FFAA rusas solo atacan instalaciones militares e infraestructura directamente relacionada", concluyeron en el Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia.

Exclusivamente para militares, como siempre ha sido el caso. Además de los numerosos objetos afectados en Jarkov, se produjeron ataques de precisión en otras regiones. 

Así fueron destruidos los equipos de aviación en los hangares del aeródromo de Dnepr en la región de Dnepropetrovsk y del aeródromo de Shkolny en la región de Odessa. Además, fueron atacados depósitos de combustible y municiones cerca de las ciudades de Zaporozhye y Bila Tserkva. Así lo informó el Ministerio de Defensa. La aviación operacional-táctica, los drones, las fuerzas de misiles y la artillería destruyeron tres lanzadores de sistemas de lanzamiento múltiple de cohetes, incluidos dos HIMARS y un Alder. Se eliminó el radar del complejo S-300.

El enemigo está sufriendo grandes pérdidas en todas direcciones. Alrededor de 700 militantes murieron, aproximadamente la mitad en dirección a Donetsk. Muchos vehículos blindados fueron destruidos, incluidos el Leopard alemán, el Cangrejo polaco, el Three Sevens estadounidense y otras armas de la OTAN.

Y justo en estos momentos, los canales de Telegram informan sobre fuertes explosiones que truenan en el distrito Chuguevsky de la región de Jarkov. Aún no hay detalles.

P. Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have conducted me and brought me unto Thy holy mount, and into Thy tabernacles. S. And I will go into the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth. P. To Thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the harp; why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou disquiet me?

So they went with haste, and they found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger. And when they had seen, they understood what had been told them concerning this Child. And all who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept in mind all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them. R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.

This profession of faith was drawn up in the General Councils of Nicaea in 325 and Constantinople in 381 to condemn heretics who denied that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost were God. I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. Here kneel down. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen.

Amen.	15 Then the priest reads the Offertory-verse, a short quotation from Holy Scripture which varies with the Mass of each day. This being finished, he offers the bread and wine, which, by virtue of the words of consecration, he is going to change into the adorable Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. He takes the paten with the host and offering it up, says: Accept, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this unspotted host, which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my innumerable sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present: as also for all faithful Christians, both living and dead, that it may avail both me and them for salvation unto life everlasting. Amen.

Amen.	16 Making the Sign of the Cross with the paten, he places the host upon the corporal. He pours wine and water into the chalice, blessing the water before it is mixed. He pours a few drops of water into the chalice containing wine, in remembrance of the water and blood which flowed from the side of Jesus when pierced by the soldier's lance. O God, who, in creating human nature, didst wonderfully dignify it, and still more wonderfully restore it, grant that, by the Mystery of this water and wine, we may be made partakers of His divine nature, who vouchsafed to be made partaker of our human nature, even Jesus Christ our Lord, Thy Son, who with Thee, liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God: world without end.

Amen. Deinde facit signum crucis cum Calice, et illum ponit super Corporale, et Palla cooperit: tum, iunctis manibus super Altare, aliquantulum inclinatus, dicit: In spíritu humilitátis et in ánimo contríto suscipiámur a te, Dómine: et sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie, ut pláceat tibi, Dómine Deus. Erectus expandit manus, easque in altum porrectas iungens, elevátis ad coelum oculis et statim demissis, dicit: Veni, sanctificátor omnípotens ætérne Deus: Benedicit Oblata, prosequendo: et bene ✠ dic hoc sacrifícium, tuo sancto nómini præparátum.	17 Then the priest takes the chalice, and offers it, saying: We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching Thy clemency, that it may ascend before Thy divine Majesty, as a sweet savor, for our salvation, and for that of the whole world. Amen. The priest makes the Sign of the Cross with the chalice, places it upon the corporal, and covers it with the pall. Then, with his hands joined upon the Altar, and slightly bowing down, he says: Accept us, O Lord, in the spirit of humility and contrition of heart, and grant that the sacrifice which we offer this day in Thy sight may be pleasing to Thee, O Lord God. Raising his eyes towards heaven, extending and then joining his hands, the priest makes the Sign of the Cross over the host and the chalice, while he invokes the Holy Spirit. Come, O almighty and eternal God, the Sanctifier, and bless ✠ this Sacrifice, prepared for the glory of Thy holy Name.

Psalm 25. 6-12 I will wash my hands among the innocent: and I will compass Thine altar, O Lord That I may hear the voice of praise: and tell of all Thy wonderous works. I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with blood-thirsty men.

Amen.	Let not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord, Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but let it, through Thy mercy, become a safeguard and remedy, both for soul and body; Who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

Deinde parum inclinatus, accipit ambas partes Hostiæ inter pollicem et indicem sinistræ manus, et Patenam inter eundem indicem et medium supponit, et dextera tribus vicibus percutiens pectus, elata aliquantulum voce, ter dicit devote et humiliter: V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. V. Dómine, non sum dignus, Et secrete prosequitur: ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea.	44 The priest genuflects, rises and says: I will take the Bread of heaven, and will call upon the Name of the Lord. Slightly inclining, he takes both halves of the Host between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, and the paten between the same forefinger and the middle one; then striking his breast with his right hand, and raising his voice a little, he says three times devoutly and humbly: V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. V. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Et se inclinans, reverenter sumit ambas partes Hostiæ: quibus sumptis, deponit Patenam super Corporale, et erigens se iungit manus, et quiescit aliquantulum in meditatione Sanctissimi Sacramenti.	45 Then with his right hand, making the Sign of the Cross with the Host over the paten, he says: The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. He then reverently receives both halves of the Host, joins his hands, and meditates a short time.

Cálicem salutáris accípiam, et nomen Dómini invocábo. Laudans invocábo Dóminum, et ab inimícis meis salvus ero. Accipit Calicem manu dextera, et eo se signans, dicit: Sanguis Dómini nostri Iesu Christi custódiat ánimam meam in vitam ætérnam. Amen. Et sinistra supponens Patenam Calici, reverenter sumit totum Sanguinem cum particula. Quo sumpto, si qui sunt communicandi, eos communicet, antequam se purificet	46 Then he uncovers the Chalice, genuflects, collects whatever fragments may remain on the corporal, and purifies the paten over the Chalice, saying: What return shall I make to the Lord for all He has given to me? I will take the chalice of salvation, and call upon the Name of the Lord. Praising I will call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved from my enemies. The priest takes the Chalice and making the Sign of the Cross with it, says: The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. Then he receives all the Precious Blood, together with the Particle.

Interim porrigit Calicem ministro, qui infundit in eo parum vini, quo se purificat: deinde prosequitur: Corpus tuum, Dómine, quod sumpsi, et Sanguis, quem potávi, adhaereat viscéribus meis: et præsta; ut in me non remáneat scélerum mácula, quem pura et sancta refecérunt sacraménta: Qui vivis et regnas in saecula sæculórum. Amen. Abluit et extergit digitos, ac sumit ablutionem: extergit os et Calicem, quem, plicato Corporali, operit et collocat in Altari ut prius: deinde prosequitur Missam.	48 The priest says silently: Grant, O Lord, that what we have taken with our mouth, we may receive with a pure mind; and from a temporal gift may it become to us an eternal remedy. Then he holds out the Chalice to the server -- in Solemn Masses to the deacon -- who pours wine into it for the first ablution, then the priest proceeds: May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my bowels; and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, who have been fed with this pure and holy Sacrament; Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen. The priest then washes his fingers and receives the second ablution. Then he covers the chalice and folding the corporal, places it on the chalice, as at the beginning of Mass, and goes to the right side of the altar to say the prayers from the Missal.

Then he turns to the people, and says or sings: P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the Saviour of the world, born this day, Who is the author of our birth in godliness, may bestow on us immortal life. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. R. Amen Let us pray. Pro S.

Top  Next Deinde sacerdos in cornu Evangelii, iunctis manibus dicit: V. Dominus vobiscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. Et signans signo crucis primum Altare vel librum, deinde se in fronte, ore et pectore, dicit: Initium +︎ sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem R. Glória tibi, Dómine. Ioann. 1, 1-14. Iunctis manibus prosequitur: In 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 Ioánnes. 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 eius: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam eius, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritatis. R. Deo grátias. Finito Evangelio sancti Ioannis, discedens ab Altari, pro gratiarum actione dicit Ant. Trium puerórum, cum reliquis, ut habetur in principio Missalis.	55 Then turning to the Gospel side of the altar, the priest says: P. The Lord be with you. S. And with thy spirit. He then traces the Sign of the Cross, first upon the altar, and then upon his forehead, lips, and breast, and says: The beginning +︎ of the holy Gospel according to John. R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. John 1, 1-14. In 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 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 testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. 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. R. Thanks be to God.
