The Canticle Of Simeon
(In honor of the Presentation of Jesus and the Purification of Mary)
Now, Master, You can dismiss your servant in peace;
You have fulfilled Your word.
For my eyes have witnessed Your saving deed
displayed for all the peoples to see:
A revealing light to the Gentiles,
the glory of Your people Israel. [Lk. 2:29-32]
