God of wisdom and insight,
you enlighten the eyes of our heart,
help us to see what is eternally good and true,
and, having glimpsed them,
may we always strive to grow in them
until we come to the joys of heaven;
we ask this through Jesus the Light of the World,
who is alive with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.

Almighty and ever-living God,
clothed in majesty,
whose beloved Son was this day presented in the Temple,
in substance of our flesh:
grant that we may be presented to you
with pure and clean hearts,
by your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Keep the household of your church, O God,
safe in your tender compassion,
so that we who entrust ourselves totally to your heavenly grace
may always be defended by your protection;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
