Almighty God, whose nature is holy and whose will is pure, may we purify ourselves from all sin and wrong, that we would be ready for the coming again of your beloved Son where we would be changed into your likeness through the transforming power of your presence and love, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
‘Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.’ – 1 John 3:2-3
