First Sunday of Advent - December 3
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

The Daily Office Readings come to us from the BCP, 2019 edition. Anglican tradition affirms that the apocryphal texts are useful for encouragement and devotion but not the setting of doctrine.
