Because of His mercy

“When the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared, not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, He saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.” (TI 3: 4-7)

We are so happy because today “the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared.” God came to us as a human being, as a child to save us from our sins, “not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy.” We adore Him and we invite Him into our homes to be with us forever.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” (Gospel Acclamation)
