Newsletter February 2nd 2020 (Feast of the Presentation of Jesus)

A thought for today

As we consider the feast of the Presentation, we remember that our parents presented us at church for our baptism. We were dedicated to God, and given the name, “Christian.” We, too, received a lit candle from the paschal candle, at which the priest said, “You have been enlightened by Christ. Walk always as a child of the light and keep the flame of faith alive in your heart. When the Lord comes, may you go out to meet Him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom” (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults).

Therefore, as a light, each of us must bear witness to Our Lord. We must be the beacon that guides others to Christ.
