Lesson from the letter of St Paul the Apostle to the Romans
!Rom 8:1-4
8:1 THERE is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
8:2 For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.
8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
8:4 That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

[Lectio2]
!Rom 8:5-8
8:5 For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
8:6 For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
8:7 Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
8:8 And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

[Lectio3]
!Rom 8:9-11
8:9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
8:11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Sermo sancti Augustini Episcopi.
!Serm. 13. de Tempore.
Dominus noster Jesus Christus, fratres carissimi, qui in aeternum est cunctorum~
Creator, hodie de matre nascendo factus est nobis Salvator. Natus est nobis~
hodie in tempore per voluntatem, ut nos perducat ad Patris aeternitatem. Factus~
est Deus homo, ut homo fieret Deus: ut panem Angelorum manducaret homo, Dominus~
Angelorum hodie factus est homo.

[Lectio5]
Hodie impleta est prophetia illa, quae dicit: Rorate coeli desuper, et nubes~
pluant justum: aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem. Factus est igitur qui~
fecerat, ut inveniretur qui perierat. Sic enim in Psalmis homo confitetur:~
Priusquam humiliarer, ego peccavi. Peccavit homo, et factus est reus: natus est~
homo Deus, ut liberaretur reus. Homo igitur cecidit, sed Deus descendit. Cecidit~
homo miserabiliter, descendit Deus misericorditer. Cecidit homo per superbiam,~
descendit Deus cum gratia.

[Lectio6]
O miracula, o prodigia, fratres mei! Naturae jura mutantur in homine; Deus~
nascitur, virgo sine viro gravidatur, viri nesciam sermo Dei maritat: simul~
facta est mater et virgo; mater facta, sed incorrupta; virgo habens filium,~
nesciens virum; semper clausa, sed non infoecunda. Solus enim sine peccato est~
natus, quem sine virili complexu non concupiscentia carnis, sed obedientia~
genuit mentis.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
!Matt 2:19-23
In that time when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep~
to Joseph in Egypt, Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go~
into the land of Israel. And so on.
_
Homily by St Jerome, Priest (at Bethlehem.)
!Bk. i., Comm. on Matth. ii.
From the words, they are dead, (in the Plural), which are used in this passage~
of the Gospel, we may understand that there were others beside Herod which~
sought the young Child's life probably the Priests and Scribes. And he Joseph~
arose, and took the young Child and His Mother. It is not written, He took his~
wife and child, but he took the young Child and His Mother; whence it is clear~
that the holy Evangelist willeth to imply that Joseph was not the father, but~
the Guardian of Jesus, not the husband, but the Betrothed of Mary.

[Lectio8]
 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea, in the room of his father~
Herod, he was afraid to go thither. There are some persons so grossly ignorant~
of history that they confuse themselves over the two Herods, as if the one~
mentioned here were the same who afterwards set our Lord at nought during His~
Passion, and they cannot understand how he should now be said to be dead. The~
Herod who was made friends with Pilate over Christ's death, was the son of the~
Herod who massacred the infants of Bethlehem, and the brother of Archelaus.

[Lectio9]
 He shall be called a Nazarene. The Evangelist, in quoting these words, saith~
that they were spoken by the Prophets, (Plural). If he had been citing any one~
precise passage he would have said by the Prophet, in the Singular. But he is~
citing the sense of the Prophets, and not any individual passage in any of their~
writings. He seemeth to refer to the fact that in Hebrew the word Nazarene~
signifieth holy, and that Christ is the Holy One of God is the common~
declaration of all the Scriptures.
