4. Sacerdos, cantu absoluto, ad populum conversus dicit: In nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti. Postea populum de more salutat, ac deinde introductoriam monitionem profert, qua fideles ad celebrandum ritum huius festi actuose et conscie invitantur, his vel similibus verbis:

4. When the chanting is over, the priest turns to the people and says: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Then he greets the people as is customary, and makes an introductory monition, so that the faithful are invited to celebrate the rite of this feast effectively and fruitfully, with these words, or many others:

Fratres caríssimi: Ante dies quadragínta celebrávimus cum gáudio festum Nativitátis Dómini. Hódie vero occúrrit dies ille beátus, quo Iesus a María et Ioseph præsentátus est in templo, extérius quidem legem implens, rerum veritáte autem occúrrens pópulo suo credénti. Spíritu Sancto impúlsi, in templum venérunt beáti illi senes et cognovérunt Dóminum eódem Spíritu illumináti, et conféssi sunt eum in exsultatióne. Ita et nos, congregáti in unum per Spíritum Sanctum, procedámus ad domum Dei óbviam Christo. Inveniémus eum et cognoscémus in fractióne panis, donec véniat maniféstus in glória.

Dear brothers and sisters: Forty days ago, we joyfully celebrated the Nativity of our Lord. Today, we commemorate the happy day when Jesus was presented in the temple by Mary and Joseph, publicly fulfilling the Law of Moses, but, in reality, going out to meet his people who were waiting for him with faith. The holy elders Simeon and Anna went to the temple moved by the Holy Spirit;
there, illuminated by the same Spirit, they came to know the Lord and proclaimed him with joy. Let us too, gathered in unity by the Holy Spirit, go to the house of God to meet Christ. We'll find him and recognize him in the breaking of bread, until he returns clothed in glory.

5. Post monitionem sacerdos benedicit candelas, dicens, extensis manibus:

5. After the monition, the priest blesses the candles, saying with outstretched hands::

Orémus.
Deus, omnis lúminis fons et orígo, qui iusto Simeóni Lumen ad revelatiónem géntium hódie demonstrásti, te súpplices deprecámur, ut hos céreos sanctificáre tua benedictióne dignéris, tuæ plebis vota suscípiens, quæ ad tui nóminis laudem eos gestatúra concúrrit, quátenus per virtútum sémitam ad lucem indeficiéntem perveníre mereátur. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. r. Amen.

Let us pray.
God and our Father, source and origin of all light, who on this day showed righteous Simeon
the Light to enlighten the nations: we humbly ask Thou to bless these candles. Hear the supplications of Thy people, who are preparing to lead them to praise Thy name, so that by following the path of virtue, they may reach the light that has no end. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. r. Amen.

Vel:

Or:

Deus, lumen verum, ætérnæ lucis propagátor et auctor, córdibus infúnde fidélium perpétui lúminis claritátem, ut, quicúmque in templo sancto tuo splendóre præséntium lúminum dornántur, ad lumen glóriæ tuæ felíciter váleant perveníre. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. r. Amen.

Let us pray. Lord and our God, true light that creates and diffuses eternal light: spread the clarity of thy light in the hearts of the faithful, so that all those illuminated in Thy holy temple by the radiance of these candles may attain the splendor of Thy glory. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. r. Amen.

Et aspergit candelas aqua benedicta, nihil dicens, incensum imponit ad processionem.

And he sprinkles holy water on the candles without saying a word, and imposes incense for the procession.

6. Tunc sacerdos accipit a diacono vel ministro candelam accensam sibi præparatam et incipit processio, clamante diacono (vel, eo deficiente, ipso sacerdote):

6. The priest receives his own lighted candle from the deacon or minister and begins the procession, the deacon (or failing that, the priest himself) saying:

Procedámus in pace. r. In nómini Christi. Amen.

Let us go forward in peace. r. In the name of Christ. Amen.

7. Omnes, candelas accensas gestant. Progrediente processione cantatur una alterave ex antiphonis quæ sequuntur, scilicet antiphona Lumen ad revelatiónem cum cantico (Lc 2, 29-32), vel antiphona Adórna vel alius cantus aptus:

7. All hold lit candles. During the procession, the following antiphon I Lumen ad revelationems may be sung alternately with the hymn (Lk 2:29-32), or the antiphon Adorna, or another appropriate hymn.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, maiestátem tuam súpplices exorámus, † ut sicut Unigénitus Fílius tuus hodiérna die cum nostræ carnis substántia in templo est præsentátus, * ita nos fácias purificátis tibi méntibus præsentári. Per Dóminum.

Almighty and eternal God, we humbly implore Thy majesty. Grant that, like Thine only-begotten Son presented today in the Temple with the substance of our flesh, we may present ourselves before Thee with the purity of our souls.

Lectio I

Léctio libri Malachíæ prophétæ (3,1-4)

Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ecce ego mittam ángelum meum, et præparábit viam ante fáciem meam; et statim véniet ad templum suum Dominátor, quem vos quǽritis, et ángelus testaménti, quem vos vultis. Ecce venit, dicit Dóminus exercítuum; et quis póterit sustinére diem advéntus eíus, et quis stabit, cum apparébit? Ipse enim quasi ignis conflans et quasi herba fullónum; et sedébit conflans et emúndans argéntum et purgábit fílios Levi et colábit eos quasi aurum et quasi argéntum, et erunt Dómino offeréntes sacrifícia in iustítia. Et placébit Dómino sacrifícium Iúdæ et Ierusálem sicut diébus prístinis et sicut annis antíquis.

Lectio II

Léctio Epístolæ ad Hebrǽos (2,14-18)

Quia púeri communicavérunt sánguini et carni, et ipse Iesus simíliter participávit iísdem, ut per mortem destrúeret eum, qui habébat mortis impérium, id est Diábolum, et liberáret eos, qui timóre mortis per totam vitam obnóxii erant servitúti. Nusquam enim ángelos apprehéndit, sed semen Ábrahæ apprehéndit. Unde débuit per ómnia frátribus similári, ut miséricors fíeret et fidélis póntifex in iis, quæ sunt ad Deum, ut repropitiáret delícta pópuli; in quo enim passus est ipse tentátus, po tens est eis, qui tentántur, auxiliári.

Verbum Dómini. r. Deo grátias.

Word of the Lord. r. Let us give thanks to God.

r. Glória tibi Dómine.

r. Glory be to Thee, O Lord..

Postquam impléti sunt dies purgatiónis eórum secúndum legem Móysis, tulérunt Iesum parentes eius in Hierosólymam, ut sísterent Dómino, sicut scriptum est in lege Dómini: “Omne masculínum adapériens vulvam sanctum Dómino vocábitur”, et ut darent hóstiam secúndum quod dictum est in lege Dómini: par túrturum aut duos pullos columbárum. Et ecce homo erat in Ierusálem, cui nomen Símeon, et homo iste iústus et timorátus, exspéctans consolatiónem Israel, et Spíritus Sanctus erat super eum; et respónsum accéperat ab Spíritu Sancto non visúrum se mortem nisi prius vidéret Christum Dómini. Et venit in Spíritu in templum. Et cum indúcerent púerum Iésum paréntes eíus, ut fácerent secúndum consuetúdinem legis pro eo, et ipse accépit eum in ulnas suas et benedíxit Deum et dixit: “Nunc dimíttis servum tuum, Dómine, secúndum verbum tuum in pace, quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum, quod parásti ante fáciem ómnium populórum, lumen ad revelatiónem géntium et glóriam plebis tuæ Israel.” Et erat pater eíus et mater mirántes super his, quæ dicebántur de illo. Et benedíxit illis Símeon et dixit ad Maríam matrem eíus: “ Ecce pósitus est hic in ruínam et resurrectiónem multórum in Israel et in signum, cui contradicétur – et tuam ipsíus ánimam pertránsiet gládius – ut reveléntur ex multis córdibus cogitatiónes.” Et erat Anna prophetíssa, fília Phánuel, de tribu Aser. Hæc procésserat in diébus multis et víxerat cum viro annis septem a virginitáte sua; et hæc vídua usque ad annos octogínta quáttuor, quæ non discedébat de templo, ieiúniis et obsecratiónibus sérviens nocte ac die. Et hæc ipsa hora supervéniens confitebátur Deo et loquebátur de illo ómnibus, qui exspectábant redemptiónem Ierusálem. Et ut perfecérunt ómnia secúndum legem Dómini, revérsi sunt in Galilǽam in civitátem suam Názareth. Puer autem crescébat et confortabátur plenus sapiéntia; et grátia Dei erat super illum.

Verbum Dómini. r. Laus tibi, Christe.

Word of the Lord. r. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

Super oblata

Stans postea in medio altaris, versus ad populum, extendens et iungens manus, dicit:

After this, standing in the center of the altar, facing the people, extending and then joining his hands, he said:

Oráte, fratres, ut meum ac vestrum sacrifícium acceptábile fiat apud Deum Patrem omnipoténtem.

Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

Populus surgit et respondet:

The people rise and reply:

Suscípiat Dóminus sacrifícium de mánibus tuis ad laudem et glóriam nóminis sui, ad utilitátem quoque nostram totiúsque Ecclésiæ suæ sanctæ.

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at thy hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

Gratum tibi sit, Dómine, quǽsumus, exsultántis Ecclésiæ munus oblátum, qui Unigénitum Fílium tuum voluísti Agnum immaculátum tibi offérri pro sǽculi vita. Qui vivit et regnat in sǽcula sæculórum.

We beseech Thee, O Lord, that the gift offered to the exulting Church, Thy only-begotten Son, may be a recognition of the oblation desired by the spotless Lamb, offered for the life of the world.

v. Dóminus vobíscum. r. Et cum spíritu tuo.

v. Lift up thy hearts. r. We lift them up to the Lord.

Præfatio

De mysterio Præsentationis Domini

The mystery of the Presentation of the Lord

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus:

Truly, it is worthy and just, equitable and salutary, for us, always and everywhere to give thee thanks: Eternal and Almighty God :

Quia coætérnus hódie in templo tuus Fílius præsentátus glória Israel et lumen géntium a Spíritu declarátur.

Because thy Son, today presented in the temple, is declared by the Spirit to be the glory of Israel and the light of the Gentiles.

Unde et nos, Salutári tuo in gáudiis occurréntes, cum Angelis et Sanctis te laudámus, sine fine dicéntes:

And so we too, meeting thy Salvation with joy, with angels and saints we praise thee, saying without end:
