 our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life  may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal,  and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ  our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the  Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Preface of the Epiphany, or of the Lord’s Day

Last Sunday after the Epiphany

This Proper is always used on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday

O God, who before the passion of your only&#8209;begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that  we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be  strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his  likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord,  who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,  for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of the Epiphany

Ash Wednesday

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and  make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily  lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness,  may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission  and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives  and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever  and ever. Amen.
