Prayer of the Day:  Almighty God, whose blessed Son was circumcised and for mankind’s sake became obedient to the Law:  purify our hearts and all our members, so that we may die to all sinful desires and in all things obey your holy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Verse of the Day:  Alleluia.  God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.  Alleluia.
