Feast of the Lord's Presentation
Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Presentation of the Lord which occurs forty days after the birth of Jesus and is also known as Candlemas day, since the blessing and procession of candles is included in today's liturgy.
Things to Do:
1. Ask your parish priest to bless the candles that you will be using on your home altar this year.
2. Have a family Candlemas procession, found in the prayer links.
3. Read Luke 2:22-35, the account of the presentation including the Canticle of Simeon.
4. Meditate on the constant fiat of Our Lady of Sorrows, who embraced the will of God even as Simeon predicted that a sword would pierce her heart. (Catholic Culture)
