FEBRUARY 02, 2020 ~ YEAR A
PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
(4TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME)
Reflection: “Mine Eyes Have Seen Your Salvation.”
PRESENTATION OF THE LORD - Mary and Joseph present their newborn Child in the Temple even though Jesus, the Son of God, is already “consecrated to the Lord”, and Mary has no need of purification. Their humble and obedient fulfilment of the law brings us to an encounter with our long-awaited consolation and redemp-tion: Jesus Christ, Saviour and Messiah. “The sword of sorrow predicted for Mary announces Christ’s perfect and unique oblation on the cross.” (CCC 529). And just as Mary carries her Baby to the Temple, she presents us to the Lord through her intercession. …. Magnificat
Countdown to 75th
ANNIVERSARY

WORLD DAY FOR CONSECRATED LIFE - FEBRUARY 2nd - The purpose of the day is “to help the entire Church to esteem ever more greatly the witness of those persons who have chosen to follow Christ by means of the practice of the evangelical counsels” as well as “to be a suitable occasion for consecrated persons to renew their commitment and rekindle the fervour which should inspire
their offering of themselves to the Lord”. (St. John Paul II, 1997) Please keep our priests and religious in your prayers!
