Pericope: Luke 2:8-14 8 And there were shepherds living out in

the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An

angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord

shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said

to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause

great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a

Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This

will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and

lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly

host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory

to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on

whom his favor rests.”
