Second Sunday of Advent - December 4
Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. 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 no the setting of doctrine.
