The Roman Missal: Advent to the Sundays after Epiphany (English) 23

1[The Octave of the Epiphany.]
2Introit. Behold the Lord the Ruler is come: and a kingdom in his hand, and power and dominion. Give to the king thy judgment, O God; and to the king's son thy justice. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Deus cujus. O God, whose only-begotten Son appeared in the substance of our flesh; grant, we beseech thee, that by him, whom we outwardly acknowledge like to us, we may deserve to be inwardly reformed. Who lives and reigns with thee, &c.

5Gospel. St John, i. 29—34. At that time, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith, Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sins of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me, because he was before me. And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John gave testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him. And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me, He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw: and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.

9Communion. We have seen his star in the East; and are come with gifts to adore the Lord.
10Postcom. Cælesti lumine. Let heavenly light, we beseech thee, O Lord, ever and in all places go before us: that we may behold with pure eyes the mystery of which thou hast been pleased to let us partake, and receive it with worthy affection. Through our Lord, &c.
