Formerly for the Sunday in the Octave of Christmas
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus,
dirige actus nostros in beneplacito tuo,
ut in nomine dilecti Filii tui
mereamur bonis operibus abundare.
Almighty eternal God, direct our actions in your
good pleasure, that in the name of your beloved Son, we may be made worthy to
abound in good works.
The collect is ancient and appears in 51 codices,
8th through the 16th centuries, when it was incorporated
into the Tridentine Missal. It was always connect to Christmas until the last
revision of the Roman Missal and Office (Lauren Pristas).
