Good and gracious God, who filled Simeon on the day of Our Lord's presentation with the Holy Spirit, we bless you for revealing to us the Light of Your Salvation. Fill our family with grace and, like Mary and Joseph, may our love for You remain strong so that, filled with the light of faith, our family may grow in odedience to Your Gospel. Bless and protect us who seek You. Open our eyes to see the glory of your Son. Be present in our midst as we try to live a life most worthy of the Holy Family. May our love for You and each of us grow every day. Make us instruments of Your peace by which we can bring your healing and love into our homes, schools, communities and places of work. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
