Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "
Traditional Catholic Prayers: January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision - Eternal Faith & Beliefs « BellesHeures's Weblog
9:1 The former indeed had also justifications of divine service and a sanctuary.
9:2 For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy.
9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies:
9:4 Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament.
9:5 And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.
9:6 Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle, the priests indeed always entered, accomplishing the offices of sacrifices.
9:7 But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance:
9:8 The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.
9:9 Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,
9:10 And divers washings and justices of the flesh laid on them until the time of correction.
Of correction. . .Viz., when Christ should correct and settle all things.
9:11 But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:
9:12 Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.
Eternal redemption. . . By that one sacrifice of his blood, once offered on the cross, Christ our Lord paid and exhibited, once for all, the general price and ransom of all mankind: which no other priest could do.
9:13 For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:
9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
9:15 And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
9:16 For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in.
9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.
9:18 Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.
9:19 For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.
9:20 Saying: This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
9:21 The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood.
9:22 And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
9:23 It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
9:24 For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.
9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others:
Offer himself often. . . Christ shall never more offer himself in sacrifice, in that violent, painful, and bloody manner, nor can there be any occasion for it: since by that one sacrifice upon His Cross, he has furnished the full ransom, redemption, and remedy for all the sins of the world. But this hinders not that He, by the Holy Spirit, makes Himself daily present in the sacred Eucharist in the bread and cup given us by God and His power alone and not by any pretended power of men, that sacred Presence whom we receive in faith with all thanksgiving.
9:26 For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself.
9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment:
9:28 So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.
John 6:55
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

The feast of Corpus Christi, Thursday after Trinity Sunday, from the Office of the Hours:
A priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedech, Christ the Lord offered bread and wine.
YOU CAN NOT SPEAK OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF OUR LORD WITHOUT SPEAKING OF HIS RESURRECTION. HE ALWAYS DID THAT. HE IS OUR MODEL. SO WE MUST ALWAYS BEAR THAT LINK BETWEEN THE TWO. IN THE FUTURE HE WILL RETURN AND RAISE ALL MEN IN THE FLESH TO JUDGEMENT! THE EUCHARIST IS OUR PLEDGE OF FIDELITY TO HIM IN OUR RECEPTION OF HIS BODY AND BLOOD. NOT A PLEDGE OF FIDELITY TO EVEN A RIGHTEOUS POPE, LIKE PIUS X. AND CERTAINLY NOT TO ANTIPOPES LIKE JOHN PAUL II AND BENEDICT XVI
Of course the chief priests and Pharisees can’t stand that.
Mt. 21
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone (Christ) shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 And when the ecumenists and legalists had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 And they sought to lay hands on him (while gnashing their teeth), but feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet.
Traditional Catholic Prayers: January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision - Eternal Faith & Beliefs « BellesHeures's Weblog
January 1 is the Feast of the Circumcision, the first shedding of blood by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – the Octave Day of Christmas. This year (2012) it is also the Sunday of the Octave of Christmas.
The Circumcision eight days after His birth is the first time Christ shed His blood for us under the old law. After forty days from His birth He was taken to the Temple and there the Presentation of Jesus Christ the Son of God was made by the blessed virgin Mary and St. Joseph and St. Simeon. These were both types of the Sacrifice that Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was going to make upon Mt. Calvary (the hill called Golgotha in Hebrew [the place of the skull]) one time for eternity for the salvation of the people who would confess Him. St. Paul teaches us in his letter to the Hebrews (written by St. Paul in Hebrew and translated into the Greek by St. Luke, St. Paul's companion), that only by the sacrifice of the Cross of Christ is Redemption accomplished, this is the Sacrifice of the New and Eternal Testament of Christ – and that one time for all eternity for all the redeemed.

Muslims are encouraged to come to Christ, who they already confess as the Messiah, as Islam in the Holy Qur'an teaches, just as the Holy Bible teaches, and receive baptism in Christ and come to the Lord's table and receive the Eucharist. (See: The Final Trial)
To exhaust. . .That is, to empty, or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption.
Second time. . .The Parousia, Nuzul i Isa in Arabic, the Second Coming of Christ from heaven with all the elect angels of God.
Jesus Christ said:
John 6:55
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
Matthew 26:28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins.
The unrepentant and perfidious Jews made their acclamation of their own sin of Deicide and Perfidy when they said:
Matthew 27:25
And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.
And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and our children.
His blood. . . in this case they are calling down upon themselves and their children a curse unto damnation that will never be lifted. Individual Jews can and are encouraged to come to Christ and repent of this and confess their sins to Him and be forgiven, cleansed and healed and set upon the road of salvation. The nation, as a nation, of the Jews will never be offered salvation again. The Satanic fake in the Holy Land right now calling itself "Israel" is only and can be nothing other than the false Diabolic short lived kingdom of the Antichrist, which Jesus Christ will utterly destroy at His Second Coming. Concerning the two witnesses who will return to earth, St. Enoch and St. Elijah, holy prophets of God who never died and will be the final witnesses of God and His Christ to the world, we are assured of both their death in Jerusalem and their victory over God's enemies in their resurrection and ascension to heaven just immediately prior to the Second Coming of Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.(Especially see the Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation, Chapter 11.)
