Prophecy of Simeon
Reflect on the sorrow of Qidist Dingil Mariyam as she presents Eeyesus in the Temple and hears from aged Simeon that a sword of grief shall pierce her soul.
O Qidist Dingil Mariyam/Holy Virgin Mary in the peace of the Angel Gabriel, peace be unto thee. Thou are Virgin in Spirit as well as in body O thou Mother of Perfect እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher [God], peace be unto thee, Blessed are thou amongst women and Blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Rejoice, O thou who are full of grace, እግዚአብሔር/ Igziabher/the Lord is with thee. Ask and pray for us to thy Beloved Son, Eeyesus Kristos/Jesus Christ, that he may have mercy upon our souls and forgive us our sins. Amen 1
