Eternal God,
as Mary waited for the birth of your Son,
so we wait for your coming in glory,
bring us through the birth pangs of this present age
to see, with her, our great salvation
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Collect for Advent 4
Our Advent journey is coming to a close. This week, our thoughts turn to the young woman - Mary - who had the faith and the courage to say to God's angel, 'Yes, let it be to me.' She was willing to allow God to disrupt her life so that his Messiah could come and transform lives. It was a truly brave decision. It is equalled by Joseph's love and courage and compassion in saying to Mary, 'Yes, I will stand by you.'
May you be inspired by their courage.
Every blessing,
Revd Katrina (Vicar)
