An Advent
Prayer
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,
in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for
ever.
Amen
A candle is lit on the Advent wreath
on each of the four Sundays before Christmas
