This Tuesday we celebrate the Presentation of the Lord. In the Eastern tradition of the Church it was called ‘Feast of Encounter’. Encounter because it was the meeting of God in incarnate and the humanity which was presented by Simeon and Anna, the old couple in the Temple.

We are finishing the Advent season and entering Christmas. If Advent was a time to prepare the rooms, by our ‘garage sale’ Christmas is a time to fill in with new gifts. We need to tune up our spiritual life at the beginning of this liturgical season as we tune up a guitar or replace our house roof. To begin anew we must throw off a few things in life.

In October, the Catholic Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month. ​​​​​​​ “During the Year of St. Joseph, the Holy Family Invites us to reflect more deeply on how St. Joseph Loved Jesus with a father’s heart Child and the Blessed Mother bears witness to our own call as Christians to safeguard God’s gift of human life”

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that when we receive a child, it is then that we receive Jesus. Jesus calls us to recognize and identify the figurative children in our lives. Who are the most in need of help? Where are those people who rely on the care of others to have their needs met? When we reach out to those who are helpless, who cry out in need, we are receiving Jesus into our hearts with love and selflessness.
