Saints’ Days and Holy Days — The Purification (February 2) (2)
We beseech thee, Almighty God, mercifully to endow us with thy heavenly grace, as we commemorate the holy Virgin Mary, the mother of our Lord, and to hallow thereby our bodies in chastity and our souls in humility and love; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.
