February 6
"Blessed and pure Master, show us your purity that with pure eyes we may see you. Save our cities, we pray you, from the awful spread of crime and immorality. May those who ruin life perish before they bring upon themselves greater condemnation, but save them if it be your will, for Christ's sake. Amen."

"Our gracious God and loving Father, we thank you that the blood of Christ your Son cleanses us from all sin. We thank you that just as ancient Israel brought the lamb as a sacrifice to the altar to receive forgiveness at the hands of the priest, so Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, has offered his own life that our sins might be eternally forgiven. Amen."

"Everlasting and eternal Father, may we honor you with a faith and confidence like that of your servants of old. Establish, we pray you, your eternal covenant with us that we may live for you, and give to our children the blessing of a godly heritage. May we in our daily walk be all that you can approve. For the Saviour's sake. Amen."

"Our great God and loving Father, may we estimate your day with the sacred value you have given to it, and prepare for its temporal needs beforehand. May we remember that this rule of preparation applies to those in our households as well as to us, and may our servants see and know that we honor your holy day. In Christ's name. Amen."
