DE VI DIE INFRA OCTAVAM NATIVITATIS
Sixth Day within the Octave of the Nativity
2nd Class, White
Gloria; Credo; Preface of the Nativity
Proper Communic diem sacratissimum
(Collect of the Sunday)
Dom Guéranger notes:
This is the only day within the Christmas Octave which is not a Saint's Feast. During the Octaves of the Epiphany, Easter and Pentecost, the Church is so absorbed in the respective mysteries that she puts off everything that could share her attention; whereas during this of Christmas, there is only one day which does not celebrate the memory of some glorious Saint, and our Infant Jesus is surrounded by a choir of heroes who loved and served him. Thus the Church, or, more correctly, God - for God is the first author of the cycle of the year - shows us how the Incarnate Word, who came to save mankind, desires to give mankind confidence by this his adorable familiarity.
