NOVENA In Preparation for the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Candlemas Novena – DAY EIGHT
DAY EIGHT
Virgin most compassionate
when, through thy divine Son,
thou didst fill the soul of Anna,
the prophetess, with light,
thou didst make her magnify
the mercies of God
by recognising Jesus,
as the Redeemer of the world.
Enrich our souls with heavenly grace
that we, may largely share,
the fruit of the Divine Redemption.
Amen
Hail Mary …..

V. Simeon received an answer from the Holy Ghost.
R. That he should not see death
until he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Let us Pray
Almighty, everlasting God,
we pray Thy majesty
that as Thine Only-begotten Son
was presented in the Temple
in the substance of our flesh,
so Thou wouldst enable us
to present ourselves before Thee,
with clean hearts.
Amen
