Almighty God, our heavenly Father, you who faithfully fulfill

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
you who faithfully fulfill your promises.
We thank you that you sent your only begotten son in the fullness of time.
With all your church we celebrate his joyous coming.
We glorify you, our gracious Father,
and your Son, our King from Zion,
and the Holy Spirit.
You, our King, who came in the name of your Father,
we beg you, enable us to celebrate your holy Advent
in our hearts, with our words, and through our devoted lives.
Pour out your bountiful blessing upon us.
Enable us to listen to your Word…
