Morning Collect for Tuesday in the Third Week of Advent

Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us;

and because we are sorely hindered by our sins,

let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,

be honor and glory, now and for ever.  Amen.

(BCP 212)
