• collect/opening prayer reflection for December 18 Advent 4 and the week following (NZPB)
BCP (TEC):
Purify our conscience, Almighty God,
by your daily visitation,
that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming,
may find in us a mansion prepared for himself;
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Common Worship CofE:
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 readings
As regulars are aware, this site is being reorganised. This mainly involves structural changes “under the hood”. The old home page is here. The old blog is here. Once the structure underneath is solid and works as well as can be, I will pretty up the look. Meanwhile, the search box facility is actually the best that has been on this site.
Do you have any ideas or resources for Advent? Please add them in the comments.
*****
I have just rebuilt this website “under the hood”, hence this post is actually a repost – the original post “fell off” in the rebuild. So, apologies if you had a comment here. Those comments have disappeared. New comments (or reposting of comments) of course welcome!
