We pray for the Mission of the Church,
may she be a light to those who live in the darkness of unbelief, and show them the way to fullness of life in Christ.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for all Christian mothers,
may they model themselves on Mary, and like her, who brought her infant son to the temple, may they lead their children by their example of love and practice of the Christian faith.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for all those who are sick,
may the Light of Christ shine upon them and reveal to them his love.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
We pray for those departed this life,
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.
Let us pray with Mary, Mother of the Infant Jesus, to God, who is our loving Father. Hail Mary .
Let us make our private prayers in silence to God.

Father, your Son became man for us and was presented in the Temple; may he free our hearts from sin and bring us into your presence, for he lives for ever and ever.
Amen.
