 The Holy Name   January 1

Eternal Father, who didst give to thine incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every  heart, we beseech thee, the love of him who is the Savior of  the world, even our Lord Jesus Christ; who liveth and  reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory  everlasting. Amen.

Preface of the Incarnation

Second Sunday after Christmas Day

O God, who didst wonderfully create, and yet more wonderfully restore, the dignity of human nature: Grant  that we may share the divine life of him who humbled  himself to share our humanity, thy Son Jesus Christ; who  liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,  one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Epiphany   January 6

O God, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy only&#8209; begotten Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know  thee now by faith, to thy presence, where we may behold thy  glory face to face; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord,  who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one  God, now and for ever. Amen.
