Emmanuel, our King and our Law, giver the hope of the nations and their Savior. Come and save us, O Lord, our God. Advent reminds us of our double duty of remaining awake and alert for the second coming of our Lord, even as we prepare to celebrate his first coming during the liturgical season of Christmas. So let us be vigilant, living our lives as if Christ will return tonight. And let us celebrate his coming to us 2000 years ago in human form
