The 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.
Readings:
Isaiah 2:1-5
Isaiah sees the Lord’s house established on the highest mountain and the word of the Lord going forth from Jerusalem. God will judge the nations, war will end and peace will come.
Psalm: 122
Romans 13:11-end
Paul tells the Church in Rome that the time of salvation is nearer than when they first believed. They should wake from sleep and live honourably.

Gospel: Matthew 24:36-44
No one knows when the end times will come. We will be going about life as normal, like the people in the time of Noah before the flood came. We must keep awake because the Son of Man will come at an unexpected time.
Preacher: Fr. Phil Hughes
