Oratio: O God, Your Son’s family were observant Jews and accordingly they presented their child in the Temple to be consecrated to You..Pray to be observant of the laws of my church and You will be greatly pleased.                                                                          

Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “law....every male...consecrated:; imagine if every male would be consecrated to the Lord, today, what a world we would be living in.  Seek the grace to comply with all church law and especiatlly those which call for us to be consecrated on God’s work.
