Welcome to the Theory to Action Podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.960
Now, here's your host, David Kaiser.

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:32.240
Hello, I am David, and Merry, Merry Christmas 2025 to each and every one of you.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:45.679
As is our custom, each and every year we share the Dominican tradition of reading or sometimes singing the proclamation of our Lord's nativity on Christmas Day at midnight mass.

00:00:46.479 --> 00:01:09.760
And because many have commented that they had not heard it before from a couple years ago and enjoyed it very much, we will continue and we will share again this year and that Dominican proclamation, as well as in keeping with our Lord's commandment to spread the good news to all the ends of the earth.

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:17.280
So here is the reading of the Dominican proclamation of our Lord's nativity on Christmas Day at midnight mass.

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:18.239
Enjoy.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:31.680
Today, the twenty-fifth day of December, unknown ages from the time when God created the heavens and the earth, and then formed man and woman in his own image.

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:39.359
Several thousand years after the flood when God made the rainbow shine forth as a sign of the covenant.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.200
Twenty-one centuries from the time of Abraham and Sarah.

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.400
Thirteen centuries after Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt.

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:21.280
In the 65th week, according to the prophecy of Daniel, in the 194th Olympiad, the 752nd year from the foundation of the city of Rome, the forty-second year of the reign of Octavian Augustus Caesar, the whole world being at peace.

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:48.400
Jesus Christ, eternal God and Son of the Eternal Father, desiring to sanctify the world by his most merciful coming, being conceived by the Holy Spirit, and nine months having passed since his conception, was born in Bethlehem of Judea, of the Virgin Mary, and became man today.

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:15.759
I will include last year's reading of the Dominican proclamation where I recorded it by a video.

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:31.919
And as we contemplated last year, Christ shall let us renew in 2024 that same contemplation of Christ coming into the world in the flesh.

00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:46.400
And also let us share in the beauty and the joy of Christmas music that we do each and every year.

00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.840
Merry Christmas this 2024 to each and every one of you.

00:03:52.080 --> 00:04:00.719
May God's may God's graces be showered upon each and every one of you and your families.

00:04:01.520 --> 00:11:16.320
