Collect
Alpha and Omega, First and Last,
glory outshining all the lights of heaven:
pour out upon us your Spirit
of faithful love and abundant compassion,
so that we may rejoice in the splendor of your works while we wait in expectation
for the new heaven and the new earth you promise when Christ shall come again. Amen.
