I wonder what you heard in the Gospel today. Why
did Mary and Joseph present Him at the
temple? How did Simeon feel when he saw the son
of God as the Holy Spirit had promised? How do
you think Mary and Joseph felt hearing about
Jesus future?

Ritual response

• God sent Jesus to us to show us how to love each
  other, we will show God that we have learnt from
  Jesus by letting our love shine through kind
  words and actions.
• We would like each class to take a candle to
  represent how we will let Gods love shine
  throughout our school.

As brothers and sisters in one loving family,
together let us pray to our heavenly father. The
response is sung, Lord hear our
prayer. For all peoples and nations of the
world, may the presence of Christ in our lives
today give us the courage to show love to one
another. Lord in your mercy, For people who live
in fear, may the presence of Christ enlighten
their lives. Lord in your mercy, For those who
have died and those who miss them, may the
presence of Christ comfort them and bring peace.
Lord in your mercy, For people who need
support, let our love shine to brighten their
lives. Lord in your mercy,
Mrs. Dunstone

Knowing that our Heavenly Father is listening,
in the silence of our hearts, let us share our
own unspoken prayers with Him.

Follow me, follow me, leave your home and
family, Leave your fishing nets and boats upon
the shore. Leave the seed that you have sown,
leave the crops that you have grown, leave the
people you have known and follow me. 1. The
foxes have their holes, and the swallows have
their nests, but the son of man has no place to
lay down. I do not offer comfort, I do not
offer wealth, but in me will all happiness be
found. 2. If you would follow me, you must
leave old ways behind. You must take my
cross and follow on my path. You may be far
from loved ones, you may be far from home, but
my father will welcome you at last. 3. Although
I go away you will never be alone. for the
spirit will be there to comfort you. Though all
of you may scatter, each follow his own
path, still the spirit of love will lead you
home.

Loving Father, may we present the face of Christ
to the world in which we live and generously
share his love and forgiveness with everyone we
meet. Amen
