Dearly Beloved, It is this day, in the Christian tradition, when Jesus, as a child, was presented before you in the Temple. It was there, when Jesus was presented to you among his community, that your faithful servants Simeon and Anna recognized the gift that you had brought into the world. Prophecy spilled forth and wisdom was shared. I pray to you divine beloved one, that each of us, as we find it in our lives to present ourselves before you, that we be recognized by our communities. I pray that our communities see the gifts that you have brought into the world in each and every one of your children. Let prophecy spill forth and let wisdom be shared among all your people, so that when we return home, we can rejoice in the fulfillment of the Spirit.

Amen.
