Christmas 2012


from the Christmas matyrology:

Jesus Christus
ætérnus Deus,
æterníque Patris Fílius,
mundum volens advéntu suo piíssimo consecráre,
de Spíritu Sancto concéptus,
novémque post conceptiónem decúrsis ménsibus,
in Béthlehem Judæ
náscitur ex María Vírgine factus Homo.

Natívitas Dómini nostri Jesu Christi secúndum carnem.
 
***

(Jesus Christ, Eternal God, Eternal Son of the Father, seeking to consecrate the world by coming into it; conceived by the Holy Spirit, nine months having passed since his conception, in Bethlehem of Judea was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to the flesh.)
