Collect for the fourth Sunday in Advent

Prayer
Written By Opawa-St Martins Parish

Help us recognise your presence

God,

your purpose exceeds our understanding:

grant us the grace you gave to Mary.

Help us recognise your presence,

and, at our end, know the joy of your embrace.

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.
