1.
Conceived by a Virgin, a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. Rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Zion! Behold your king is coming to you with justice and humility.
2.
Les Bergers 05:48
Having seen the Child sleeping in the crèche, the shepherds went their way, glorifying and praising God.
3.
God, in his love, has predestined us to be his adopted children, through Jesus Christ, at the praise of the glory of his grace.
4.
Le Verbe 11:32
The Lord said to me: You are my Son. From God’s womb, before the dawn of time, I have begotten you. I am the image of the kindness of God; I am the Word of Life, whence all commences.
5.
To all who have received it, the Word has given the power to become children of God. And God instills in their hearts the Spirit of his children, who cry: Abba! Father!
6.
Les Anges 04:20
The celestial army praises God and says: Glory to God in the highest heavens!
7.
Christ said to the Father on coming into the world: “You took no pleasure in burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin, but you have prepared a body for me. God, here I am! I am coming to obey your will.”
8.
Les Mages 08:10
The Sages departed, and the star was continually before them.
9.
Spoken to the communion, to the Virgin, and to the entire Church: The One who has created me resides in my tent, the Word was made flesh and lives within me. My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit quivers at the goodness of God my Savior.

about

Olivier Messiaen's 9 meditations for organ, called "The Nativity Suite," are a sublime and virtuosic example of the integration of music and Spirit. Including Messiaen's most famous composition for organ ("Dieu parmi nous"), this is a tour de force of acoustics, organ, composer, and performer.
