Today the church
celebrates the presentation of Jesus in the temple. Its been 40 days now from
the birth of Jesus. This day should also remind us of our baptism, where on
that day we became Christians and were welcomed into the Catholic faith. It was
also the day where all your family members, relatives and neighbors came to
celebrate the joy of your birth.
Simeon the priest waited
for a long time to see the Messiah, and when he did see Him, he thanked God for
fulfilling his promise. “A sword will pierce your soul”, these words said by
Simeon to Mary were pondered by her. She didn’t know what it meant, but moved
on in faith.
Today is also the Day of
Consecrated life, let’s pray for all consecrated, that they may be committed to
the Lord and grow in holiness.
