The Canticle of Simeon
Now dismiss Thy servant, O Lord, in peace, according to Thy
word: For mine own eyes have seen Thy salvation, which
Thou hast prepared in the sight of all the peoples, a light to
reveal Thee to the nations and the glory of Thy people Israel.
We'd be delighted to hear from you!
God bless you! |
O Blessed Francis de Sales, who in your mortal life did excel in all virtues, especially in love of God and of neighbor, I earnestly entreat you to take me under your immediate protection, to obtain from God my perfect conversion, and that of all sinners, especially of (the names of persons for whom you wish to pray might be mentioned here). Teach me, O Father, to fix my eyes on heaven, that I may generously trample under foot every obstacle that presents itself in my way, and attain that degree of glory which you in your mercy hold out to me. Amen.
