“25 December. The twenty-second day of the lunar month. Innumerable ages having passed since the creation of the world…The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the flesh.”
So are the beginning and ending words of the proclamation of the birth of the Savior at Midnight Mass. The words speak of the long waiting for the Savior from the beginning of time, culminating with the birth of Jesus. Christmas is here! What better way to celebrate with the Universal Church than to watch Midnight Mass unfold with Pope Francis at Saint Peter’s Basilica.
Here is this year’s schedule of how to participate:r’s Basilica in Rome.
Step 1: Download the Booklet for the Holy Mass of the Night here.
Step 2: Choose where to watch (if you can’t be in Rome).
EWTN will be broadcasting with English translation at the following times:
12/24 at 3:30 PM ET; and 12/25 at 8:00 AM ET, and 7:00 PM ET

Let us unite with one another in prayer for Pope Francis, and for all those he challenges us to reach out to, especially the most poor.
