Stir Up Your Power: #Advent Reflection | #anglican #commonprayer #almostchristmas

Why would we ask the Lord to stir up his power and come among us? Because we are God's people through baptism and faith and he has promised to renew us and all of creation! Father Jeremiah walks through the collect for the Fourth Sunday in Advent today.

The text of this collect is:
Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and as we are sorely hindered by our sins from running the race that is set before us, 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.
