The Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany

O God, whose blessed Son was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil,¹

and make us the sons of God,²

and heirs of eternal life;³

Grant us, we beseech you, that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves, even as he is pure;⁴

that, when he shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom;⁵

where with you, O Father, and you, O Holy Ghost, he lives and reigns, ever one God, world without end. Amen.⁶
