A Prayer for Advent
A PRAYER FOR ADVENT
Merciful God,
you sent your messengers the prophets
to preach repentance
and prepare the way
for our salvation.
Give us grace to heed their warnings
and forsake our sins,
that we may celebrate aright
the commemoration of the nativity,
and may await with joy
the coming in glory
of Jesus Christ our Redeemer;
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever. Amen.
