Our Morning Offering – 2 February – The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
O Light of All the Earth!
Prayer, Morning Hymn
for the Feast of the Presentation
Liturgy of the Hours
Hail to the Lord who comes,
comes to His temple gate,
not with His angel host,
not in His kingly state.
But borne upon the throne
of Mary’s gentle breast,
thus to His Father’s house
He comes, the heavenly guest.
There Joseph at her side,
in reverent wonder stands
and, filled with holy joy,
old Simeon in his hands
takes up the promised Child,
the glory of all lands.
The world’s true light draws near,
All darkness to dispel,
the flame of faith is lit
and dies the power of hell.
Our bodies and our souls,
are temples now for Him,
for we are are born of grace –
God lights our souls within.
O Light of all the earth!
We light our lives with Thee,
the chains of darkness gone,
all sons of God are free.
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
