Collect for the Second Sunday of Advent
We wait and watch
God for whom we wait and watch,
you sent John the Baptist
to prepare for the coming of your Son:
give us courage to speak the truth
even to the point of suffering.
This we ask through Christ our Saviour.
Amen
E te Atua, e tāria nei e titiro nei mātou ki a koe,
i tonoa e koe a Hoani Kaiiriiri
hei whakarite i te ara mō te haerenga mai o tāu Tama;
kia mataara, kia māia ai mātou ki te kōrero i te pono
āhakoa pēhia e te taimaha.
E īnoi ai mātou i roto i a te Karaiti tō mātou Kaiwhakaora.
Āmine.
