Collect (ECUSA):
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in 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, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Almighty God,
help us to turn away from
dark and sinful things,
and turn instead toward the Light;
and
as Jesus came to live in the world as we live,
prepare us to live
with him in Heaven
through him who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
