O Virgin Mary, you who were presented in the Temple with a pure and dedicated heart, look upon me today as I offer myself before God, following your example
Teach me to surrender my life completely—my thoughts, my desires, and the labor of my day — so that everything within me may be ready for the work of grace
O Lord my God, just as You accepted Mary’s offering in the Temple, receive my heart despite its weakness
Purify me, renew me, and open within me a new door for Your Holy Spirit to act, so I may live in full obedience, steady trust, and lasting joy
O Mary, take my hand and lead me toward the Temple of the Lord
Help me, like you, to say “yes” every day, and to make my life a faithful offering of love that lifts me from earth to the Heart of God
