Thursday, February 2nd, is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, a day when the Church blesses candles. It is a day when all the Religious Community renew a vow to be a servant to Christ and to the people. It is a vow of poverty, obedience and Chasity. Please remember them in your personal prayer to encourage more young people to dedicate their life to Jesus. We also walk in the procession in the church carrying a lit candle with the invitation to the procession, “Let us go in peace to meet the Lord,” is a rich – and even astounding – summary of this feast day.
