Amen. A familiar prayer for many of us in the evenings, but a prayer I have found myself repeating at all times of the day and night in these Covid times. But February brings its own light. On 2nd February we celebrate Candlemas, the commemoration of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple: the baby Jesus was brought to the Temple to be dedicated to God and was recognised by the elderly Simeon and Anna as the ‘light of the Gentiles’.
