Prayer of the Day-Collect for 4th Sunday of Advent Year C

God of love: We magnify you for showing mercy upon the poor and forgotten ones around the world. Your love through Jesus our Messiah came to earth to reverse the order of things and set all things right. May we follow your example Jesus of love for all people even as we pray for your coming again today, tomorrow and in the unknown future as Messiah, Saviour, Lord of lords, and King of kings; to reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit; one God, now and forever. 

Prayer of the Day-Collect for 3rd Sunday of Advent Year C

Holy One: In this season of joy and rejoicing, there are many family members, friends and neighbours in our midst; as well as countless millions of poor and oppressed people around the globe who find little joy or occasion to rejoice. May your Holy Spirit’s fruit of joy and rejoicing spread into the hearts, minds and lives of all humankind as we prepare to celebrate the coming of our Messiah Jesus; in whose name we pray.
