Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings

15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.
Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in caelum : pastores loquebantur ad invicem : Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis.

16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
Et venerunt festinantes : et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in praesepio.

17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc.

18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
Et omnes qui audierunt, mirati sunt : et de his quae dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos.

19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec, conferens in corde suo.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus quae audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos.

Let us go with the shepherds the the Infant Jesus; the Lord manifested to these shepherds the incarnation of His Son. Let us go with haste and adore Him in the crib.
