The Shepherds Visitation of Baby Jesus in the Manger

 


The Lord’s Angel appeared to Shepherds in the field


Merry Christmas to All 


The Shepherds visit Baby Jesus in the Manger

The humblest shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem,

Amazed by the sight and words of the angel, 

'Do not be afraid, share the good news of great joy, 

because a savior has been born to you in the town of David,

he is Christ the Lord,'

Who announced the birth of Jesus, the Son of God, 

Were startled by the sight of God's angel.

Lord, you have seen the pure hearts of the shepherds 

You gave them the privilege to know, Jesus was born

A great blessing for those who are humble in heart 

To witness the salvation and plan of God 

The Angel of God sang Gloria to the Most High

The heavenly hosts came along and praised God 

'Glory to God in the highest heaven

And on earth peace for those He favors'


Lord, you brought salvation to all humanity 

By giving your own Son, Jesus Christ 

The humble Mary of Nazareth chosen to be Mother of God 

Father, You chose Joseph to be the guardian of Jesus


Shepherds were filled with joy in their hearts

They left the the field with all their herds 

They took honey, milk, food and warm clothes for the holy family

And rushed towards the place where the Child Jesus was born


The shepherds never doubted the message of the Angel

They left everything behind and proceeded to see Jesus and to adore him

Lord has opened their heart to understand mystery of His Incarnation

Which he always reveales to the humble and poor in spirit 


They found Jesus in swaddling clothes

Found the Child Jesus lying in a manger

They adored Jesus and praised God for the wonderful gift

They served the holy family with a joyful heart


The Word became flesh and came into the world

To reveal Himself to all humanity

He became visible first to the humble shepherds of Bethlehem

And brought salvation to all souls 


Lord, you chose shepherds, the poor and destitute 

To serve you wholeheartedly 

To them you poured your abundant grace, 

The wisdom and knowledge of God 


The shepherds proclaimed the good news to the holy family and to the whole village, 

Of the marvelous things the angel had told them. 

The savior is born, Christ the Lord.

Heavenly hosts surrounded by angels glorified God


As for Mary, she treasured what the shepherds said and 

Pondered them in her heart!

The shepherds glorified God, glory to God in the highest heaven

And on earth peace for those he favors! 

Hodie, Christus Natus Est!
