Luke 2:22-40
“Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.”
Prayer
Our Lord and Master, may our eyes always see your salvation and be renewed in it day by day.
We hope in you who will bring to us the day of perfect union with your perfect love.
We ask this through you Son, Jesus, Our Salvation and Our Joy!

In Hawaii, some churches continue the tradition of the blessings of the candles at the Mass.
It is customary to bring candles from home to be blessed -- at least 51% beeswax candles that one uses for devotional purposes (candles for the family altar, Advent candles, etc.) -- so they can be lit after dusk on All Saints' Day (1 November), during the Sacrament of Unction, and during storms and times of trouble. A bit of very old poetry summarizes the use of blessed candles to ward off troubles:To learn more about this feast day of our Lord, please visit Fisheaters

Esther, if you would like to add music to your blog, go to www.webmusic.com, and sign up for free. Then, you can pick a song from their database, and it will give you an html code for your blog. Paste it, and place it where you want it, and you are set! My song is "At the Cross" and I too love it. God bless!
Thank you! That sounds easy enough :-)
