collect/opening prayer reflection Advent 4 December 19 and week following [NZPB]

to be the mother of your Son:

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.

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.

Collect/opening prayer from the RC “Received Text”:

may by his Passion and Cross
be brought to the glory of his resurrection.
Through our Lord….

translates the famous Angelus collect:

Grátiam tuam, quaesumus, Dómine, méntibus nostris infúnde, ut qui, Angelo nuntiánte, Christi Fílii tui incarnatiónem cognóvimus, per passiónem eius et crucem ad resurrectiónis glóriam perducámur. Per Dóminum…
