Collect of The First Sunday of Advent
Almighty God,
Give us grace to cast away the
works of darkness
and to put on the armour of light
now in the time of this mortal
life
in which your Son Jesus Christ
came to us in great humility;
that on the last day
when he shall come again in his
glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
This Collect may be said after the
Collect of the Day until Christmas Eve.
