Prayer 3292: For the Feast of Candlemas



(Feast of the Presentation of Jesus- Luke 2:22-40)

Most Blessed Savior,
may we praise you in the temple and in the streets,
extolling your many blessings boldly
and witnessing to your abiding loving-kindness
in all we do and say this day.

Make us strong in your wisdom, O God;
let us grow in heart and mind,
sinking deep roots
into the verdant ground of your commandments
loving You and our neighbors
as You love us.
May our own countenance
shine forth with the Light of God's Wisdom,
and with the radiance of your Incarnate Word.

At eventide, let us depart in peace,
having served you humbly, atiently, and with charity,
having looked with eyes of love upon the world,
and knowing that we have seen the Savior
in each face we have encountered.

Keep us all this good day,
and bring us to our rest in safety and assurance,
and pour out your blessing
on those for whom we pray.

Amen.
