“Sion, adorn your bridal chamber and welcome Christ the King; take Mary in your arms, who is the gate of heaven, for she herself is carrying the King of glory and new light. A Virgin she remains, though bringing in her hands the Son before the morning star begotten, whom Simeon, taking in his arms announced to the peoples as Lord of life and death and Savior of the world”
— processional antiphon for the Feast.
We wish all a blessed Feast Day today on the Feast of the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple – feast of all religious and consecrated souls.
As we celebrate this feast, we have published our website with a new look! See the homepage here!
We ask you to join us in praying for all religious and consecrated souls on this, the Feast of Religious.
We also ask for your prayers for all who are discerning their vocation to religious life, especially for the young women who will be attending our 2020 Come and See Retreat (April 3-5).
“Jesus, desire of nations, Anna the prophetess spoke of you to all who were awaiting Israel’s redemption, help us to proclaim you in our words and actions to all who yet yearn for your salvation”
— from Intercessions for Morning Prayer
