February 2, 2021: Candlemas/Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

This Feast is about an important Kairos moment in the life of the Baby Jesus.

His parents bring Him to the Temple to follow the dictates of the Law of the Lord.

And they are in for something amazing when they intersect with two godly "senior citizens", long awaiting the Messiah, by word of the God who they wait upon so earnestly.

Simeon and Anna both praise God for keeping His promise not just for them, but for the people of Israel awaiting salvation.

What a great gift our Savior is to us, the Light for us the Chosen People and extending to all the world.

This Light beckons to us, so that we may constantly enter into God's presence, and be filled with His Light.  Then we carry it forth to all the world, so that our Savior may be known.
