Welcome! This blog contains brief reflections of mine on the Scripture readings for each weekend Mass and other Holy Days, too. These readings follow those used by the Roman Catholic Church in the Revised Common Lectionary, which goes in a three-year cycle. These posts typically appear within a day or two of the specified Mass.

February 2, 2019: Candlemas, Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
Joseph and Mary bring Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord in accordance with the Law of Moses. In this presentation, Jesus makes Himself known as the Light and Salvation of all peoples.
He has brought God to us so that we can enter God's presence with purified hearts, following Him as the One Who alone makes us righteous. He shines His Light so gloriously over us and we embrace this Light and follow Him.
