Lord, you fulfilled the hope of Simeon and Anna,

we have seen with our eyes and touched with our hands the bread of life:
strengthen our faith
that we may grow in love for you and for each other;

and poison our minds
and to choose again your gift of life,
revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Almighty and everliving God, we humbly beseech thy Majesty, that, as thy only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple in substance of our flesh, so we may be presented unto thee with pure and clean hearts, by the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
