advent prayers

a prayer for the first sunday in advent

Almighty God, give us peace, that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life (in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in the 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, now and forever.

Yes, and very amen, in Jesus' name.

from the Collects from The Book of Common Prayer (1552)

May your Advent season be filled with Grace, Peace, and Joy!

Pastor Matthew
