we join with the prayer of Jesus, Mary and Joseph presenting our prayers and ourselves to the Lord. 

READER:  For the whole Church that, inspired by the Holy Spirit with wisdom and knowledge, we may follow the example of Simeon and Anna in making Jesus and his mission known to the world.
Lord in your mercy 
Hear our prayer.

For all the children of our world, that they may be loved and cherished by their families and by the societies in which they live.
