CHRISTMAS VIGIL 2025

Theme: God Cares

 

1st Reading: Isaiah, chapter 62:1 – 5

God says he would not remain aloof while Jerusalem, or his beloved people, suffer.  We shall experience the goodness of the Lord in his extra tender and loving care for us.

 

2nd Reading: The Acts of the Apostles, chapter. 13: 16-17, 22 –25

St Paul recounts a bit of salvation history by telling his audience how God saved their ancestors in the past.  God continues to save all of us as well, through his son, Jesus Christ.

 

Gospel Reading: Matthew, chapter 1:1-25

 

St Matthew traces the genealogy of Christ, to emphasize the fact that even though the Lord is one of us by human birth, Jesus is the being through whom God became man in order to save us.
