Collect
Merciful God,who has opened a gate for us to enter into Your presence and give thanks.We pray that You accept us as we present ourselves as Your incarnate Son, who as a child was presented to You in the temple was received with joy by Simeon and Anna ,as the Redeemer of all creation,In order that our bodies would become a living sacri ce and spiritual worship,holy and acceptable to You, living always in Your presence.Through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God now and ever. Amen
