At the coming of Christ, God’s holy people were made sharers in new life. With joy and gratitude let us say to our Savior:
May your birth bring joy to the world.
Christ, our life, you came to be the head of your Church,
— grant your body growth rooted in charity.
May your birth bring joy to the world.
Fully human, fully divine, you deserve our adoration,
—mold our humanity in your divine image.
May your birth bring joy to the world.
You became our mediator through your incarnation,
—unite your servants in the Church more closely to your work through the holiness of their lives.
May your birth bring joy to the world.
When you came you inaugurated a new era,
—lead all nations to your salvation.
May your birth bring joy to the world.
By your birth you destroyed the chains of death,
—free the dead from all their chains.
May your birth bring joy to the world.
