O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might
destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal
life:
Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he
is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made
like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer
