 First Sunday after the Epiphany: The Baptism of our Lord

Father in heaven, who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan didst proclaim him thy beloved Son and anoint him  with the Holy Spirit: Grant that all who are baptized into his  Name may keep the covenant they have made, and boldly  confess him as Lord and Savior; who with thee and the same  Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Preface of the Epiphany

Second Sunday after the Epiphany

Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that thy people, illumined by thy Word  and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s  glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the  ends of the earth; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord,  who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one  God, now and for ever. Amen.

Third Sunday after the Epiphany

Give us grace, O Lord, to answer readily the call of our Savior Jesus Christ and proclaim to all people the Good  News of his salvation, that we and all the whole world may  perceive the glory of his marvelous works; who liveth and  reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and  ever. Amen.
