Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. (Luke 2:14)

Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we adore Thee, we glorify Thee, we give Thee thanks for Thy great glory: O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty! O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father: Who taketh away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; Who taketh away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; Who sits at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For thou alone art holy, Thou alone art the Lord, Thou alone, O Jesus Christ, art most high, together with the Holy Ghost, + in the glory of God the Father. Amen. (Mass)

May the offering of this festive day be pleasing to you, O God, and may this exchange of gifts, through your bountiful grace, cause us to grow more like Christ, in whom our human nature is united with yours; who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

(Secret  of Midnight Mass)
