The collect of the day
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 Lesson: 2 peter 3: 8-13

The psalm: Psalm 97: 1-6
1 The Lord is King; let the earth be glad.
Indeed, let the multitude of the isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him;
righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
3 There goes a fire before him
and burns up his enemies on every side.
4 His lightnings gave light to the world;
the earth saw it and was afraid.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness,
and all the people have seen his glory.
(BCP 2019)
