Presentation of the Lord

Presentation of the Lord

Recordings are based on the Australian Lectionary, using the draft texts of the Revised New Jerusalem Bible (RNJB) with Revised Grail Psalms.
The current lectionary readings, based on the Jerusalem Bible (JB) with Grail Psalms are also available for download below.

Forty days ago we celebrated the joyful feast of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today we recall the holy day on which he was presented in the temple, fulfilling the law of Moses and at the same time going to meet his faithful people. Led by the Spirit, Simeon and Anna came to the temple, recognised Christ as their Lord, and proclaimed him with joy. United by the Spirit, may we now go to the house of God to welcome Christ the Lord.

First Reading ‡ Malachi 3:1-4
The Lord whom you seek will come to his temple.

Responsorial ‡ Psalm 23:7-10
Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!

Second Reading ‡ Hebrews 2:14-18
He had to be made like us in all things.

Gospel [Longer form] ‡ Luke 2:22-40
My eyes have seen your saving power.
