Today is day 32 and we are in the section Concerning Holy Scripture on question 32.

32. Why is Jesus Christ called the Word of God?

The fullness of God’s revelation is found in Jesus Christ, who not only fulfills the Scriptures, but is himself God’s Word, the living expression of God’s mind. The Scriptures testify about him, “In the beginning was the Word,” and “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14). Therefore, “ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.” (Jerome, Commentary on Isaiah, prologue; see also Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 33:1–12; Colos­sians 1:15–19)

Our prayer today is the Collect for the First Sunday of Christmas found on page 600 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
