COLLECT FOR ADVENT II

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning: write in our hearts the lessons of your law; prepare our minds to receive the Gospel, help us to hear them, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that through patience, and the comfort of your Holy word, we may embrace and forever hold fast the hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
