 Epiphany

Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, thou hast caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge  of thy glory in the face of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lent

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was in every way tempted as we are, yet did not sin; by whose grace we are  able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer unto  ourselves, but unto him who died for us and rose again.

Who dost bid thy faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer  and in works of mercy, and renewed by thy Word and  Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which  thou hast prepared for those who love thee.

Holy Week

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who for our sins was lifted high upon the cross, that he might draw the whole world to  himself; who by his suffering and death became the author of  eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him.

Easter

But chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the  very Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and hath  taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath  destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath won for  us everlasting life.
