Collect for the Presentation of the Lord.

I tried to imagine what it was like to be at the Temple that day when Mary and Joseph walked in with Jesus. I thought about how as Jesus grew, His thoughts never led His mind into the gutter.

His thoughts were pure. In this prayer we implore (beg with mercy) that we have a mind made new so that we would be able to think and see and be like Christ, not just admire Him.

Thanks for praying with me.
