Master of Heaven and Earth, who rules over all things in power and glory, keep us from distractions and temptations that draw us from you, that we would be ready to hear your call and fulfill your desire as good servants of your blessed kingdom, through Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
“Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks.” – Luke 12:35-36
