When February 2 falls on a Sunday, the solemnity of the day, the Presentation of the Lord, is celebrated instead of the ordinary time Sunday.

The Presentation of the Lord recalls that forty days after Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph bring him to the temple to be presented. It is there they encounter an elderly couple, Simeon and Anna, who immediately recognize the infant Jesus as the Savior of the World.

This day has also traditionally been the day when candles are blessed. The light of the candle, whether it be in the temple of our church, our home, or our hearts, is meant to help us understand Jesus as the one who illuminates each of our paths.

At each of the Masses next weekend, everyone will receive a candle, and we will begin Mass with a special ritual to bless these candles. Please take your candle home with you after Mass and use it in your prayer as a reminder that Jesus is with us not just here at church, but in our day-to-day lives.
