Ordinary Time - November 16
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and 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 not the setting of doctrine.
