Text
Angelus ad pastores ait: annuntio vobis gaudium magnum, quia natus est vobis hodie Salvator mundi;
et vocabitur Deus fortis, Admirabilis, Princeps pacis, Pater futuri sæculi, cujus regni non erit finis.
-Luke 2:10–11, Isaiah 9:6

The angel said to the shepherds, “I bring you tidings of great joy, for unto you is born this day a savior of the world; and his Name shall be called Mighty God, Wonderful, Prince of Peace, the Father of the world to come, whose kingdom shall have no end.”
