The Presentation, February 2
Almighty and everliving God, we humbly pray that, as your
only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented
to you with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
