The Collect for Fourth Sunday of Advent- God our redeemer, who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the mother of your Son: grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour, so we may be ready to greet him when he comes again as our judge; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever.
The Collect for Christmas Day- Almighty God, you have given us your only- begotten Son to take our nature upon him and as at this time to be born of a pure virgin: grant that we who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
The Collect for the First Sunday of Christmas- Almighty God, who wonderfully created us in your own image
and yet more wonderfully restored us through your Son Jesus Christ: grant that, as he came to share in our humanity, so we may share the life of his divinity; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
