Book of Numbers 6,22-27.
The Lord turned to Moses saying:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: You will thus bless the Israelites; you will tell them:
Bless you the Lord and protect you.
The Lord make his face shine on you and be propitious to you.
May the Lord turn his face upon you and grant you peace.
So they will put my name on the Israelites and I will bless them. "
Psalms 67 (66), 2-3.5.6.8.
God have mercy on us and bless us,
let us make his face shine;
so that your way may be known on earth,
your salvation among all peoples.

The nations rejoice and rejoice,
because you judge people with righteousness,
govern the nations on earth.

Peoples praise you, God, all peoples praise you.
bless us and fear him
all the ends of the earth.

Letter of St. Paul the Apostle to Galatians 4,4: 7-XNUMX.
Brothers, when the fullness of time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
to redeem those who were under the law, to receive adoption as children.
And that you are children is proof of the fact that God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son who cries out: Abbà, Father!
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if son, you are also heir by the will of God.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 2,16-21.
At that time, the shepherds went without delay and found Mary and Joseph and the child, who was lying in the manger.
And after seeing him, they reported what the child had been told.
Everyone who heard was amazed at the things the shepherds said.
Mary, for her part, kept all these things in her heart.
The shepherds then returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as they had been told.
When the eight days prescribed for circumcision were over, Jesus was named after him, as he had been called by the angel before being conceived in the mother's womb.
