Almighty and everliving God, we humbly beseech thee that, as thy only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented unto thee with pure and clean hearts by the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Today is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord It occurs 40 days after Jesus’ birth also known as Candlemas day due to the blessing & lighting of candles as a symbolic representation of the words of the prophet Simeon concerning Christ as a “light to reveal God to the World.” pic.twitter.com/Eb39t8CF3j
