    Deus, qui beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, Spíritus Sancti habitáculum, hodiérna die in
    templo præsentári voluísti: præsta, quǽsumus; ut, ejus intercessióne, in templo glóriæ
    tuæ præsentári mereámur.
    Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in
    unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    R. Amen.

    Let us pray.
    O God, Who wast pleased that the blessed Mary always a Virgin, being herself the
    dwelling-place of the Holy Ghost, should, as on this day, be presented in thine earthly
    Temple, grant, we beseech thee, that by her prayers we may worthily be presented in the
    heavenly Temple of thy glory.
    Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in
    the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    R. Amen.
