Gospel Luke 2:15-20
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 When they saw it, they publicised widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.

Isaiah 62:11-12
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
"Say to the daughter of Zion,
'Behold, your salvation comes.
Behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.'"
12 They will call them The holy people,
the LORD's redeemed.
You will be called Sought out,
A city not forsaken.

Titus 3:4-7
4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour and his love towards mankind appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
