Queen Margaret of Scotland 

God the ruler of all

Who called your servant Margaret to an earthly throne

And gave her zeal for your church and love for your people

And attain to the glorious crown of your Saints

Through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord

Amen

Advent Sunday

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.
