(To be said every day, after prayer for each day)
V. Simeon received an answer from the Holy Spirit.
R. That he should not see death until he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Let us pray.
Almighty, everlasting God, we pray thy majesty, that as thine only-begotten Son was presented in the temple in the substance of our flesh, so thou woudst enable us to present ourselves before thee with clean hearts.
O God, the pastor and ruler of all the faithful! Graciously look upon thy servant, N., whom thou hast set over thy holy Church; grant him, we beseech thee, by word and example, so too direct those over whom thou hast placed him, that, together with the flock thou hast entrusted to his care, he may attain eternal life.
O God, our refuge and strength, who art the source of all piety! Hearken to the pious prayers of thy Church, and grant that what we ask in faith, we may in deed obtain. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]
