O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, you Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP 1979, page 214)

(There are no commemorations today (January 5) and since tomorrow is the Feast of the Epiphany, we have no Second Sunday after Christmas this year. So today, we offer this collect which would normally be offered on Christmas 2.)
