Sunday, February 2, 2025: (Presentation of the Lord in the Temple)
Jesus said: “My people, according to the Mosaic law the mother of the baby needs to be purified forty days after giving birth. My parents also offered two turtle doves to ransom Me. Simeon was promised to see Me before his death, and he held Me in his arms. (Luke 2:22-40) Simeon said: ‘Behold, this child is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that shall be contradicted. And thy own soul a sword shall pierce that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.’ Anna was a prophetess and she also gave words of thanks for My life. We then returned home to Nazareth. This day is also called Candlemas Day when the priest blesses the candles for Mass and for the people. This blessing is a sign that I am the Light of the world, and it is the end of the Christmas Season.”
