Collect (ECUSA):
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O God,
your Son Jesus came to destroy the
works of the devil
and make us children of God .
Help us to
keep ourselves pure as He is pure;
so that in the end we may be
with him in Heaven;
where he lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
