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.
