68 the offering of the Sacrifice may profit our souls and that by our participation in the divine mysteries our salvation may be assured. Vigil of Christmas. Formerly, the faithful passed the night before great Feasts in prayer, this is what was called the vigil. To-day, the great festivals are still preceded by a vigil on which fasting is ob served, penitential prayers are said, and purple vest ments are worn, but these vigils have a distinctive character which varies according to the Feast. The Vigil of Christmas has a special solemnity. The Invita- tory at Matins first announces the Feast ; from the begin ning of Lauds the Office is of double rite ; the Mass throughout dwells on the approaching solemnity. The Station for the Vigil of Christmas, as on the first Sunday of Advent, is held at Saint Mary Major. As we know, this church possesses the Crib of Bethlehem. Here also, Midnight Mass will be celebrated. In the Introit and the Gradual of the Mass the coming of the Saviour is proclaimed as to be realized this very day. The Church adapts to this great mystery the words of Moses when he announced the miracle of the manna to the children of Israel. The Alleluia describes the Mes- sias, under the figure of the Pastor who cares for His people, as the shepherd cares for his flock : the Offer tory describes him as a king making a triumphant entry into his kingdom. Finally, in the Communion the words of Isaias are repeated in which he announces the Saviour whom God is sending on earth. In the Collect, the Secret and the Postcommunion, we are urged to implore the clemency of the Saviour who one day will be our Judge, and that we may share abundantly in the blessings which His birth will bring. In the Epistle Saint Paul describes the greatness and the holiness of
-6 9 - the good tidings which on this night the angels will bring to earth. These good tidings relate to the Son of God, born of the family of David according to the flesh, the source of grace and apostleship. The Gospel records Joseph s uneasiness and the vision of the Angel who reassures him. The angelic messenger tells the foster-father that the name of Jesus must be given to the child in order to . express the distinctive character of His mission, here on earth.
