As we conclude Advent this year, the calendar is unusual since Advent IV is also Christmas Eve. That means that there is only one day for reading before the Feast of the Incarnation. So here are two sets of readings for the same day, Advent IV/Christmas Eve. and then readings for Christmas week. May the profound joy of our Lord's coming into this world be with us all!
