Additional Collect, Third Sunday of Advent (Redub)

God it is you we watch for, you we wait for.

You sent John the Baptist

to prepare the way for Jesus, the Christ.

Like John, give us courage to hunger for justice.

May we desire your freedom.

Help us to bring the liberty of heaven to earth.

Amen.
