Presentation of the Lord
February 2, 2020
The Presence of God comes in unexpected moments!
Fr. Anthony Ligato
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
"Thus, says the Lord God: Lo, I am sending my messenger
to prepare the way before me; and suddenly there will come
to the temple the Lord whom you seek and the messenger
of the covenant whom you desire.” (Malachi 3:1-3) Malachi
prophetically proclaims that God’s promise will suddenly
appear to the people of Israel in the Temple. Malachi’s
prophecy was a warning to the people of Israel that the
Lord whom they longed and desired to see his coming
would not come with vindication but rather judgement. The
Feast of the Presentation of the Lord commemorates the
fulfillment of the promise Malachi had spoken that the pres-
ence of God has been made known to us in Jesus being pre-
sented in the Temple in Jerusalem by Mary and Joseph.
On the day Jesus was presented at the Temple the words of
the Prophet Malachi were fulfilled, for on that day; the
Lord whom the people of Israel had sought came to the
Temple in Jerusalem as an infant. The presence of God is
with us in this Church today and comes to us in unex-
pected moments and in unexpected ways through people
whom we do not readily recognize as bearer of God’s word.
Simeon was one of those people who revealed that God is
made present to us in unexpected ways. Simeon recognizes
that this child is a light for revelation but not all will accept
this revealed truth. This infant is seen by Simeon as light
emanating from light. "Now Master, you may let your
servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes
have seen your salvation, which you prepared in the sight of
all the people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and
glory for your people Israel." (Luke 2:22-40)
That light can be seen clearly in the vigil candle that tells us
that Jesus is present in the consecrated hosts that are in
reserve in the Tabernacle and in us, a living Tabernacle of
the Lord from whom the light of Christ shines. There is the
tradition in the church to bless candles during the Mass for
people to carry home and light them once they are home.
Those candles are the visible presence of Jesus Christ, but
even more so, we are the visible presence of Jesus
Christ. The light of Christ which emanates from us helps
others recognize that Jesus is present in us as individuals,
as a community of faith gathered in this Church and as a
people of God who are living in this world.
Jesus was presented by Mary and Joseph in the temple; he
was presented to the world as a merciful and loving sacri-
fice for the forgiveness of humanities sins. "He has be-
come like his brothers and sisters in every way, that he
might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God to
expiate the sins of the people. (Hebrews 2:14-18) We have
been presented as well, when our parents and God parents
brought us into the church to receive the Sacrament of
Baptism.
Re-Igniting Our Faith
We are at the beginning of the 2019 Re-Igniting Our Faith
Campaign. We have gotten off to a very good start and I
want to thank everyone who has pledged. Our heartfelt
thank you for your support to our Re-Ignite Our Faith pro-
gram at St. Jude the Apostle. It is the generosity and hard
work of people like you that help make this exciting effort a
success! Pledges may be mailed or dropped off to the Parish
Office or place them in the collection basket.
Campaign Goal $427,245.00
Percentage to Goal 43.3%
Pledges to Date: $185,150.00
Thank you for your support, Fr. Anthony Ligato
Continued..
In those waters we are illumined by the Light of Christ
and we are to then present ourselves to Christ in the same
way Christ has presented himself to us. Jesus is a reve-
lation to the nations, and we are called to be a revelation to
the nations by the fact that the light of God’s word is to
emanate from us.
The Responsorial Psalm 24:7-10 could almost be a ques-
tion from someone who is seeking the light over the dark-
ness, “Who is this King of Glory?” We as those illumined
by the light respond back, “It is the Lord!” The celebra-
tion of the Presentation of the Lord provides an opportuni-
ty to examine our conscience and ask ourselves how well
we are illuminating the way for others? Simeon and Anna
spoke their prophetic words that day when Jesus was pre-
sented in the Temple and they have helped illuminate the
way for us all ever since.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Anthony Ligato

PARISH NURSE PROGRAM
February is National Health Month. So many
Americans have health related problems, but
many can be prevented by making healthy
choices. Using too much salt in your diet can have cause
serious consequences, such as high blood pressure or
kidney disease. Limiting the use of salt and processed
foods in your diet can make a big difference in your
blood pressure. No more than 2300 mg of sodium should
be consumed in a day. Read labels in your prepared
foods or frozen dinners. You would be amazed how
much sodium they contain!
