February 2 the Candlemas. Prayer to ask for a grace
PRAYER TO MARY in the presentation of Jesus in the Temple
O Mary, you humbly went up to the Temple today,
carrying your divine Son and you offered it to the Father
for the salvation of all men.
Today the Holy Spirit has revealed to the world that Christ
it is the glory of Israel and the light of the nations.
Please, Holy Virgin, introduce us too,
that we are also your children, to the Lord and grant that, renewed in spirit,
we can walk in the light of Christ
until we meet him glorious in eternal life.
THE OFFER OF CHRIST AND OF HIMSELF TO THE FATHER
Jesus is the great gift of God to humanity
and it is the only worthy offer we can make to him.
You, Mary, offer Jesus in the Presentation and begin a journey
which leads you to the cross; a sword will pierce your soul.
The Church and every Christian continues to offer Jesus the Eucharist
and to offer himself to the Father with him.
Ave, o Maria ...
O Lord, we at Mass offer you like Mary
Christ, your son.
Allow us to be able to offer our life together with his.
For Christ our Lord. Amen.
