First Reading
A Reading from the book of Prophet Micah 5:1-4
The Lord says: “You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.”
Therefore, the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, And the rest of his brethren shall return
to the children of Israel. He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the Lord, in the majestic name of the Lord, his God; And they shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace.”
The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
R. With delight I rejoice in the Lord.
2. Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

Second Reading
A Reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans 8:28-30
Brothers and sisters:
We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.
The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

Gospel Reading
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mathew 1:18-23
Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”

About our Lady of Good Health, Velankanni.
There are no historical documents about the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Velankanni. Oral tradition is the source for the two apparitions of the Blessed Mother of Velankanni in the 16th century, and the saving of the Portuguese sailors from a tempest in the Bay of Bengal in the later 17th century.
This well/pool is situated where the first apparition had occurred.
The first Marian apparition is said to have occurred in May 1570, when a local shepherd boy was delivering milk to a nearby house. Along the way he met a beautiful woman holding a child, who asked for some milk for the little one. After giving her the milk, he continued on his way, and upon making the delivery discovered that the jug was now completely full of fresh, cool milk. A small shrine was built near the site where the boy encountered the woman, a location that came to be called Matha Kulam, which means Our Lady’s Pool.
The second Marian apparition is said to have happened in 1597, not far from Matha Kulam. A beautiful woman with a young boy in her arms appeared to a young crippled boy selling buttermilk. The little boy asked for some buttermilk, and after he drank it, the woman asked the boy selling buttermilk to visit a gentleman in the next town and ask him to build a chapel in her honor at that location. The boy set out quickly and realized that he was no longer lame. A small thatched chapel was quickly built in honor of Our Lady of Health, called in Tamil "Arokia Matha".
The third incident occurred when a Portuguese ship sailing from Macao to Sri Lanka was caught in a storm in the Bay of Bengal. They invoked the help of the Blessed Virgin under her title "Star of the Sea". The storm subsided and the 150 men on board were saved. It was 8 September, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary. In thanksgiving, the sailors rebuilt the Shrine to Our Lady of Good Health, and continued to enhance it whenever voyages brought them to the area.
Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health
The shrine that started as a thatched chapel in the mid-sixteenth century became a parish church in 1771 when Catholics in India were under persecution from the Dutch. Later in 1962 it was granted a Special status of a Minor Basilica by Pope John XXIII.
The shrine of Vailankanni was elevated to the status of 'Minor Basilica' and merged with the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome on 3 November 1962 by Pope John XXIII.
