Merciful God, you sent your messengers the prophets to preach
repentance and prepare the way of our salvation.
Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins,
that we may celebrate aright the commemoration of the nativity,
and may await with joy the coming in glory of Jesus Christ our Redeemer;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever.
Amen
