First Reading: Galatians 4: 4-7 (English):
In this reading to the Galatians, St. Paul shows us that God sent his only Son to the world to redeem us so we can be his children and also an heir.
Second Reading: Ephesians 2:11-18 (lebanese):
In this reading, St. Paul reminds us that, by the Birth of Jesus, we became free from the evil. We now can be the children of God.
Gospel: Luke 2:1-20 (English & Lebanese):
Jesus wants us to give just judgment, because the appearances do not give the real person. He also explains that making a man well on a Sabbath doesn't make him a criminal.
