Today the Church is celebrating ‘The Presentation of the Lord’ where Mary and Joseph arrive at the temple to present Jesus, check our Monseigneur Kevin’s homily from this morning’s mass on Facebook. “Kevin Maloney”
There is a tradition in the church (on Candlemas), that a candle light procession held, that symbolizes that like Mary and Joseph we are all called to ‘Be the light of Christ’ in the world. It is our duty to allow Christ to be so present in us that we radiant his light as we go about our days.
As Catholics we experience the Body & Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist, it is the summit of our Faith, and while it may be an intimate personal encounter, the impact and expression that the Eucharist has on us needs to be public.
So this feast day, 40 days after Christmas day, this is a good time to reflect on how you are presenting Christ, in your smile, with your family and with the people you connect with.
Are you presenting Christ with the same joy that was present on Christmas Day?
By our Baptism we are called to be presenters of Christ,
but even more, we are “Called to be Joyful Presenters of Christ”

Hi Deacon Guy
I have been reflecting on the joy we need to show as children of God.
It is a tall order unless we have Great faith in these times.
I struggle with the challenges of making my sons and daughter all adults make them aware of the dangers of this time.
