Hodie Christus Natus Est

12/24/2019

Hodie Christus natus est hodie
Salvator apparuit: 
hodie in terra canunt Angeli, laetantur Archangeli:
hodie exsultant justi, dicentes: 
Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluja.

​
Today is Christ born; today the Savior has appeared; today the Angels sing,
the Archangels rejoice; today the righteous rejoice, saying:
​Glory to God in the highest.  Alleluia!
​
Hodie Christus Natus Est by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.

"During the season of Advent we longed for the coming of Christ. In Christmastide we experience the joy of His coming into the world. The Church is full of the Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ. Jesus is God, begotten of the substance of the Father before all the ages and born of the substance of His Mother in the world, is given to us ... By the union of our souls with Jesus born to human life, we are born to the divine life.

​During Christmastide, the liturgy shows us the Messiah as the Son of God, clothed with humanity, glorified by the humble surprised shepherds, an adored by the Magi from the East. Let us fall down before the Child and bless God, for the birth of Jesus is the beginning of our Redemption through grace to the supernatural life. 

Christmas is the only day of the year, other than Easter which keeps the old custom of celebrating its Feast at midnight. At this hour we called to mind that Mary in her spotless virginity gave to the world its Savior. In the midst of darkness, the Light was born. Therefore the Church celebrates Christmas on December 25, the time of the year when the days begin to lengthen ... Whereas Advent is the season of 'absence of Jesus,' Christmastide is a season of great joy in our possession of the Savior." - 1962 Roman Missal

"Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee."
​Psalm 2:7

May the joy of Our Lady be yours on this most blessed day, when Our Savior came into the world, and your hearts rejoice with the angels in singing Glory to God in the Highest! We wish you, your family, and your loved ones a holy and merry Christmas.
