Collects are prayers for the collective people of faith. This one is from the Book of Common Prayer for the season of Christmas. Please join me in praying:

O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen
