The Episcopal Pastoral Commission for Liturgy of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) has made available the "Celebrate as a Family" guide for the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord – December 25th.

“Christmas is the celebration of encounters. God comes to meet us. Every encounter always holds a surprise, after all, the other is always a sacred mystery. In this encounter, God surprises us with his capacity to love.”, contextualizes the script.

For the Padre Eustáquio Channel You can participate live in two Christmas Masses, held at the Archdiocesan Sanctuary of Health and Peace, at 10 am and 5 pm. In this way, we can follow along, living the dignity of the priestly people that our baptism conferred upon us. We can not only follow along, but also celebrate the Lord's Day with our families. On Sunday, the 26th, the broadcasts will take place at 10 am and 7 pm, as usual.

For the celebration, the committee suggests preparing an image of the Baby Jesus, along with a Bible, candles, flowers, and a small bell. It would be appropriate to hold the celebration before a family meal.
