Morning prayer, Monday of the Finding in the Temple, Maronite liturgy.
“Glory to you, O Word of God, the wise One; praise to you, the Light, Way and Life of the world. Grant us purity of heart and simplicity of speech to praise you this morning. As we commemorate your finding among the teachers, grant that we be zealous in keeping your laws and passing on your teachings. Then we will be worthy to behold your face, and glorify you with your Father and your Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.”
