O God, whose blessed Son came into the world
that He might destroy the works of the devil
and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life:
Grant that, having this hope, we may purify
ourselves as He is pure; that, when He comes again
with power and great glory, we may be made like Him
in His eternal and glorious kingdom; where
He lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
