Collect for the first Sunday in Advent
Prepare us for the coming of your light
Almighty God,
prophets and scriptures prepare your way:
open our minds to discern your purpose,
turn us from all darkness,
and prepare us for the coming of your light.
Through Jesus Christ our Liberator,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
