The Nativity of our Lord

Christmas, Collect, Prayer

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 Annunciation

Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
