   God our redeemer,
   who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary
   to be the mother of your Son:
   grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour,
   so we may be ready to greet him
   when he comes again as our judge;
   who is alive and reigns with you,
   in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
   one God, now and for ever.
