Prayer For the Third Sunday in Advent


O Lord Jesus Christ, who at thy first coming didst send thy messenger to prepare thy way before thee: Grant that the ministers and stewarts of thy mysteries may likewise so prepare and make ready thy way,by turning the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,that at thy second coming to judge the world we may be found an acceptable people in thy sight, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Spirit,ever one God,world without end. Amen.
(from The Scottish Book of Common Prayer).
The first time He came as a babe in a manger,the second time he will be coming as judge of the world.
