The Second Sunday After Christmas
by CCW | 5 January 2014 01:00
The Book of Common Prayer[1] (Canadian, 1962) does not provide a collect for the Second Sunday after Christmas, but specifies that the service for the Octave Day of Christmas[2] “shall be used until the Epiphany.”
[3]ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us thy only begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this time to be born of a pure Virgin: Grant that we being regenerate, and made thy children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
The Lesson: Isaiah 9:2-7[4]
The Gospel: St Luke 2:15-21[5]
