The Naming and Circumcision
of Jesus
Almighty God,
whose blessed Son was circumcised
in obedience to the law for our
sake
and given the Name that declares
your saving love;
Give us grace faithfully to bear
his Name,
to worship him in the freedom of
the Spirit,
and to proclaim him as the Saviour
of the world;
who is alive and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen
New Year
Eternal Lord God,
we give you thanks for bringing
us.
through the changes of time
to the beginning of another year:
Forgive the sins we have committed
in the year that is past,
and help us to spend the remainder
of our days
to your honour and glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
