Confession of Saint Peter  January 18

Almighty Father, who didst inspired Simon Peter, first among 
the apostles, to confess Jesus as Messiah and Son of the living 
God: Keep thy Church steadfast upon the rock of this faith, 
so that in unity and peace we may proclaim the one truth and 
follow the one Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and 
reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for 
ever.  Amen.

*Preface of Apostles*


Conversion of Saint Paul  January 25

O God, who, by the preaching of thine apostle Paul, hast
caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world:  
Grant, we beseech thee, that we, having his wonderful 
conversion in remembrance, may show forth our thankfulness 
unto thee for the same by following the holy doctrine which 
he taught; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and 
reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, 
now and for ever.  Amen.

*Preface of Apostles*


The Presentation  February 2

Almighty and everliving God, we humbly beseech thee that, 
as thy only-begotten Son was this day presented in the 
temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and 
clean hearts by the same Jesus Christ our Lord; who 
liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, 
now and for ever.  Amen.
