Today the Church revisits the theme of light with a candle procession at the beginning
of the eucharistic liturgy and announces that Jesus, by being presented at the temple, is the light that guides the whole world for the glory of Israel. This liturgy, which has been celebrated since the fourth century, included the Marian theme of Candlemas for a long time although it is, in fact, a feast of the Lord. In small communities it is convenient to invite the faithful to bring the candles they would like blessed beginning on the Sunday prior to the feast; candles can also be distributed at the beginning of Mass to highlight the occasion's theological and festive meanings. Jesus is the king of glory, and by presenting himself in the temple he is recognized by Anna and Simeon as the savior of the world. It works well to have a choir that knows the "Canticle of Simeon," a very
appropriate song for this celebration, and can teach it to the assembly.
Hoy la Iglesia revisita el tema de la luz con una procesión de velas al comienzo de la
liturgia eucarística y anuncia que Jesús, al ser presentado en el templo, es la luz que guía al mundo entero para la gloria de Israel. Esta liturgia, que se celebra desde el siglo IV, incluyó el tema mariano de las Candelas durante mucho tiempo, aunque es, de hecho, una fiesta del Señor. En las pequeñas comunidades es conveniente invitar a los fieles a traer las velas que les gustaría bendecir a partir del domingo anterior a la fiesta; las velas también se pueden distribuir al comienzo de la Misa para resaltar los significados teológicos y festivos de la ocasión. Jesús es el rey de la gloria, y al presentarse en el templo es reconocido por Anna y Simeón como el salvador del mundo. Funciona bien tener un coro que conozca el "Cántico de Simeón", una canción muy
apropiada para esta celebración, y pueda enseñarlo a la asamblea.

From the Desk of Father Kurt “Refiners fire my hearts one desire is to be Holy, set apart for
You Lord.”
These words from one of my favorite songs, comes from the first
reading of this Sunday’s liturgy. The Prophet Maliki is telling the
people that the Lord is coming, and when he comes he will wipe away
everything that is not holy. The Hebrew people understood that for
there to be forgiveness of sin, there would have to be sacrifice made
to atone for it. In the feast of the Presentation of the Lord we come to
realize that it is not the blood of animals that forgives sin, but the
blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who offered Himself up for us on
the Cross. Jesus is the refiner’s fire that takes away sin and restores
us to God. The Christian life is one of purgation. He or she enters
into the reality of Christ’s sacrifice and willingly permits him or herself
to make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ. The
purification that we go through in this life to become Holy hopefully
will prevent us from having to experience it in the next life. On this
Feast of the Presentation of our Lord, let us ask Him to purify us of
selfishness and become Holy like Him.
Love in Christ
Father Kurt Farrell

Respect Life – Join us, along with Mary American Life League launched the Marian Blue Wave this past October. Its goal is to end abortion, with the help of our Blessed Mother and her Son. It is a call to Catholics across America to pray a weekly Rosary with the specific intentions of ending all clinical, chemical, medical, and surgical abortions and shutting down every Planned Parenthood facility in the United States. It all began when Bishop Joseph Strickland of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas tweeted that “what this country needs is a Marian Blue Wave.” Please consider joining this prayer movement! For information, see www.marianbluewave.com and https://www.all.org/marian-blue-wave-aims-for-5000/.

What a fun week we had! We just finished up our Catholic School’s Week. The students had many activities to help celebrate our school. On Monday we had parachute games and a maze. On Tuesday we went to a movie (Dr. Dolittle). On Wednesday we made pottery, cookies, and thank you cards for our community helper/workers. On Thursday we had lunch with some of our community helper/workers and toured our town (City Offices, Fire Station, and Ambulance Bay). Lastly, on Friday we went ice skating. We love our school! A BIG thank you to the parent and parishioner volunteers that helped us during this week.

Physician Assisted Suicide myth: There are some ways of living where the person would be better off dead. Truth: This is insulting and threatening to millions of people living with disabilities. Every national disability rights organization in the USA (15 of them) has come out against physician assisted suicide legislation. Catholic compassion: If someone says they would be better off dead, tell them that is not true, their lives have meaning, and offer them help finding a counselor. If the person is living with disabilities, include and welcome them. If they are bound to bed and cannot communicate, bring community to them. Many people’s lives are deeply enriched by relationships with friends and family with disabilities. All human beings are beloved in the eyes of God and we are called to be friends to each other.
