THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME 2014 IS THE FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD..............
On what is the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, today February 2nd, is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, commemorating Mary and Joseph's fidelity to the Jewish Law in presenting the firstborn male to God in the Temple, forty days after his birth. The presentation and dedication of the 40 day old infant Jesus of Nazareth is also a prophetically affirming occasion, as the presence and proclamations of Simeon and Anna in the Temple underscore when he is brought there. Catholic-Christians also traditionally refer to February 2, as 'Candlemas Day', being the day each year when the candles we use for Mass and other liturgies are blessed, which represent the presence of the Lord Jesus as light to us and the Nations. How are you and your Discipleship in Jesus as the Lord of Salvation in the Redemption of Humankind encouraged and sustained by the message of today's Sunday Scriptures ? What will you do to selflessly present yourself to God and others, especially in response to the poor, the marginalized, and the vulnerable, as each of us strives to be Faithful Witnesses to Jesus The Christ our Lord and our God ?..............Father Troy David
