Historic Collect
Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to make ready the way of your only begotten Son, that by his coming we may be enabled to serve you with pure minds; through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Gelasian Sacramentary, 7th Century)
"Our Christian brothers and sisters for hundreds of years call on us to join with them and find time in this busy season to push aside the hustle and the bustle, the gifts and the obligations and to fast and to pray; to prepare for the coming of our Lord; to repent of our sin and listen to what God is saying to us and to all humanity through His Word as He speaks the Words of Salvation to us all. There is a deep darkness on our land; a land in desperate need of repentance, but as we light an Advent Candle each week, let it remind ourselves of the promise that the Light of Christ will one day overwhelm and consume all that endangers God's people. A promise that our Lord says will be fulfilled soon, unto which we say, “Come Lord Jesus”.
