      Notes

      1 Normally on any occasion only one Collect is used.

      2 The Collect for each Sunday is used on the following weekdays, except where other provision is made.

      3 At Evening Prayer on Saturdays other than Easter Eve, Christmas Eve or Principal Feasts or Festivals, the Collect appointed for the ensuing Sunday shall be used. When Evening Prayer on the day before a Festival makes use of the lessons relating to that Festival, the Collect of that Festival shall be used.

      4 Where a Collect ends ‘Through Jesus Christ … now and for ever’, the minister may use the shorter ending, ‘Through Jesus Christ our Lord’, to which the people respond ‘Amen’, and omit the longer Trinitarian ending. The longer ending is to be preferred at Holy Communion.

      5 A number of Collects are designated **. In each season, the designated Collect may replace the Collect of the Day on other Sundays in that season. In Ordinary Time (the Sundays before Lent, the Sundays after Trinity and the Sundays before Advent) one of the designated Collects for Ordinary Time may replace the Collect of the Day.

      For Rules, see pages 525–534 of Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England.

      ¶ Advent

      Collect

      Almighty God,

      give us grace to cast away the works of darkness

      and to put on the armour of light,

      now in the time of this mortal life,

      in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;

      that on the last day,

      when he shall come again in his glorious majesty

      to judge the living and the dead,

      we may rise to the life immortal;

      through him who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      This Collect may be used as the Post Communion on any day from the Second Sunday of Advent until Christmas Eve instead of the Post Communion provided.

      (or)

      Almighty God,

      as your kingdom dawns,

      turn us from the darkness of sin to the

      light of holiness,

      that we may be ready to meet you

      in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

      Post Communion

      O Lord our God,

      make us watchful and keep us faithful

      as we await the coming of your Son our Lord;

      that, when he shall appear,

      he may not find us sleeping in sin

      but active in his service

      and joyful in his praise;

      through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      Collect

      O Lord, raise up, we pray, your power

      and come among us,

      and with great might succour us;

      that whereas, through our sins and wickedness

      we are grievously hindered

      in running the race that is set before us,

      your bountiful grace and mercy

      may speedily help and deliver us;

      through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

      to whom with you and the Holy Spirit,

      be honour and glory, now and for ever.

      (or)

      Almighty God,

      purify our hearts and minds,

      that when your Son Jesus Christ comes again as

      judge and saviour

      we may be ready to receive him,

      who is our Lord and our God.

      Post Communion

      Father in heaven,

      who sent your Son to redeem the world

      and will send him again to be our judge:

      give us grace so to imitate him

      in the humility and purity of his first coming

      that, when he comes again,

      we may be ready to greet him

      with joyful love and firm faith;

      through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      Collect

      O Lord Jesus Christ,

      who at your first coming sent your messenger

      to prepare your way before you:

      grant that the ministers and stewards of your mysteries

      may likewise so prepare and make ready your way

      by turning the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,

      that at your second coming to judge the world

      we may be found an acceptable people in your sight;

      for you are alive and reign with the Father

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or)

      God for whom we watch and wait,

      you sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of your Son:

      give us courage to speak the truth,

      to hunger for justice,

      and to suffer for the cause of right,

      with Jesus Christ our Lord.

      Post Communion

      We give you thanks, O Lord, for these heavenly gifts;

      kindle in us the fire of your Spirit

      that when your Christ comes again

      we may shine as lights before his face;

      who is alive and reigns now and for ever.

      This provision is not used on weekdays after 23 December.

      Collect

      God our redeemer,

      who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary

      to be the mother of your Son:

      grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour,

      so we may be ready to greet him

      when he comes again as our judge;

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or) **

      Eternal God,

      as Mary waited for the birth of your Son,

      so we wait for his 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.

      Post Communion

      Heavenly Father,

      who chose the Blessed Virgin Mary

      to be the mother of the promised saviour:

      fill us your servants with your grace,

      that in all things we may embrace your holy will

      and with her rejoice in your salvation;

      through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      Collect

      Almighty God,

      you make us glad with the yearly remembrance

      of the birth of your Son Jesus Christ:

      grant that, as we joyfully receive him as our redeemer,

      so we may with sure confidence behold him

      when he shall come to be our judge;

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or)

      Almighty God,

      as we prepare with joy

      to celebrate the gift of the Christ-child,

      embrace the earth with your glory

      and be for us a living hope

      in Jesus Christ our Lord.

      Post Communion

      Eternal God, for whom we wait,

      you have fed us with the bread of eternal life:

      keep us ever watchful,

      that we may be ready to stand before the Son of man,

      Jesus Christ our Lord.

      ¶ Christmas

      Collect

      Eternal God,

      who made this most holy night

      to shine with the brightness of your one true light:

      bring us, who have known the revelation of that light on earth,

      to see the radiance of your heavenly glory;

      through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or)

      Eternal God,

      in the stillness of this night

      you sent your almighty Word

      to pierce the world's darkness with the light of salvation:

      give to the earth the peace that we long for

      and fill our hearts with the joy of heaven

      through our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

      Post Communion

      God our Father,

      in this night you have made known to us again

      the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

      confirm our faith and fix our eyes on him

      until the day dawns

      and Christ the Morning Star rises in our hearts.

      To him be glory both now and for ever.

      Collect

      Almighty God,

      you have given us your only-begotten Son

      to take our nature upon him

      and as at this time to be born of a pure virgin:

      grant that we, who have been born again

      and made your children by adoption and grace,

      may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit;

      through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or) **

      Lord Jesus Christ,

      your birth at Bethlehem

      draws us to kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth:

      accept our heartfelt praise

      as we worship you,

      our Saviour and our eternal God.

      Post Communion

      God our Father,

      whose Word has come among us

      in the Holy Child of Bethlehem:

      may the light of faith illumine our hearts

      and shine in our words and deeds;

      through him who is Christ the Lord.

      This provision is not used on weekdays after 5 January.

      Collect

      Almighty God,

      who wonderfully created us in your own image

      and yet more wonderfully restored us

      through your Son Jesus Christ:

      grant that, as he came to share in our humanity,

      so we may share the life of his divinity;

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or)

      God in Trinity,

      eternal unity of perfect love:

      gather the nations to be one family,

      and draw us into your holy life

      through the birth of Emmanuel,

      our Lord Jesus Christ.

      Post Communion

      Heavenly Father,

      whose blessed Son shared at Nazareth the life of an earthly home:

      help your Church to live as one family,

      united in love and obedience,

      and bring us all at last to our home in heaven;

      through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      This provision is not used on weekdays after 5 January.

      Collect

      Almighty God,

      in the birth of your Son

      you have poured on us the new light of your incarnate Word,

      and shown us the fullness of your love:

      help us to walk in his light and dwell in his love

      that we may know the fullness of his joy;

      who is alive and reigns with you,

      in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

      one God, now and for ever.

      (or)

      God our Father,

      in love you sent your Son

      that the world may have life:

      lead us to seek him among the outcast

      and to find him in those in need,

      for Jesus Christ's sake.

      Post Communion

      All praise to you,

      almighty God and heavenly king,

      who sent your Son into the world

      to take our nature upon him

      and to be born of a pure virgin:

      grant that,
