"Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen." [Advent 1 Collect from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer]
Today is the 25th anniversary of World AIDS Day. Today, we have the opportunity to unite in the fight against HIV, to show our support to people living with HIV, and to commemorate the 35 million we have lost to the disease. This year’s theme is “Shared Responsibility: Strengthening Results for an AIDS-Free Generation.” - See more at: http://blog.episcopalrelief.org/blog/touchstone-international-programs/world-aids-day-2013-striving-for-an-aids-free-generation#sthash.NujankMJ.dpuf
