The Second Sunday After Christmas
by CCW | 5 January 2025 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.”
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[3]
The Gospel: St. Luke 2:15-21[4]
