REJOICE, THE LORD IS NEAR

Collect:
ALMIGHTY GOD, Who deems us as the apple of YOUR eye as we joyfully wait to
receive YOUR SON as our REDEEMER, sanctify our spirit, soul, and body to be kept
blameless at the coming of YOUR SON, So that when HE shall come after a little
while to be our JUDGE with righteousness and faithfulness, we would behold HIM
with sure confidence, Through JESUS CHRIST, Who lives and reigns with YOU and the
HOLY SPIRIT, One GOD, now and forever more.
Amen.
