Anne, truly blessed by God’s grace, led with gladness into the temple of the Lord the pure and ever-Virgin who is full of grace, and she called the young girls to go before her lamps in hand. ‘Go, Child’, she said, ‘go to Him who gave thee unto me; be unto Him an offering and a sweet smelling incense. Go into the place where none may enter: learn its mysteries and prepare thyself to become the pleasing and beautiful dwelling place of Jesus, who grants the world great mercy.’
