Additional Collect, Fourth Sunday of Advent (Redub)

God, beyond all worlds,

God within all worlds;

in Mary’s labouring to bring her child to birth,

we see the struggle involved in bringing

your rule of justice and peace.

Remind us, in the agony of our longing,

of the ecstasy of the new creation.

Amen.
