The Collect of the Day
Almighty God, you have given your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and to be born this day of a pure virgin: Grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with you and the same Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
|
|
for he has done marvelous things;
|
|
his right hand and his holy arm
|
have worked salvation for him.
|
|
The Lord has made his salvation known
|
and revealed his righteousness to the nations.
|
|
He has remembered his love
|
|
and his faithfulness to Israel;
|
|
all the ends of the earth have seen
|
the salvation of our God.
|
|
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
|
burst into jubilant song with music;
|
|
make music to the Lord with the harp,
|
with the harp and the sound of singing,
|
|
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
|
shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
|
|
Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
|
the world, and all who live in it.
|
|
Let the rivers clap their hands,
|
let the mountains sing together for joy;
|
|
let them sing before the Lord,
|
for he comes to judge the earth.
|
|
He will judge the world in righteousness
|
and the peoples with equity.

|
I cannot tell you how the light comes, but that it does. That it will. That it works its way into the deepest dark that enfolds you, though it may seem long ages in coming or arrive in a shape you did not foresee. And so may we this day turn ourselves toward it. May we lift our faces to let it find us. May we bend our bodies to follow the arc it makes. May we open and open more and open still to the blessed light that comes.
