Begin with the Our Father.
Read each verse, then say the Hail Mary.
At the end of the decade, say the Glory Be.
Optionally, finish with the Fatima Prayer below.

1 When the days for their purification were completed according to the Law of Moses, they brought the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

2 At that time, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This upright and devout man was awaiting the consolation of Israel.

3 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not experience death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.

4 Prompted by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple.

5 When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was required by the Law, he took him in his arms and praised God.

6 Simeon said: “Now, Lord, you may dismiss your servant in peace, according to your word.”

7 “My eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all the peoples.”

8 “A light of revelation to the Gentiles and glory for your people Israel.”

9 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother: “This child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed.”

10 He also said to Mary: “And you yourself a sword will pierce.”

The Fatima Prayer: O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of your mercy.
