MASS WITH POPE FRANCIS FROM VATICAN - WORLD DAY FOR CONSECRATED LIFE

POPE FRANCIS RECITES ANGELUS ON FEAST OF PRESENTATION

SUNDAY MASS ONLINE : FEB. 2, 2014 - FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION

TODAY'S SAINT : PURIFICATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE CHILD JESUS


Pope Francis presides over the Holy Mass for the World Day for Consecrated Life of the Presentazion of the Lord Feast Day
Homily of Pope Francis. The Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple is also called the festival of ' meeting. In the Liturgy, at the beginning, it says that Jesus goes to the meeting of his people is the meetingbetween Jesus and his people   , and when Mary and Joseph brought their child to the Temple in Jerusalem, took the first encounter between Jesus and his people, represented by the two elderly Simeon and Anna.
This was also a meeting in the history of the people, a meeting between the young and the elderly : the young were Mary and Joseph with their infant, and the elders were Simeon and Anna, two characters who frequented the Temple forever.
observe what the evangelist Luke tells us of them, as he describes them. Our Lady and St Joseph's repeated four times that they wanted to do what was required by the law of the Lord(cf. Lk 2,22.23.24.27). It takes almost one perceives that Jesus' parents have the joy of observing the precepts of God, yes, the joy of walking in the law of the Lord! There are two newlyweds, they just had their baby, and they are all motivated by the desire to do what is prescribed. And this is not something external, not to feel alright, no, no! It 'a strong desire, deep, full of joy. That 's what the Psalm says: "In the way of your teaching is my joy ... Your law is my delight (119,14.77).
And what St. Luke says of the elderly? He said - more than once - that were guided by the Holy Spirit . Simeon says that he was a man righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and that "the Holy Ghost was upon him" (2:25), says that "the Holy Spirit had announced" that he would die before seen the Christ, the Messiah (v. 26), and finally he went to the Temple "moved by the Spirit" (v. 27). Anna then says it was a "prophetess" (v. 36), that is given by inspiration of God, and that he was always in the Temple "serving God with fasting and prayer" (v. 37). In short, these two elders are full of life! They are full of life because animated by the Holy Spirit, obedient to his action, sensitive to his calls ...
And here is the meeting between the Holy Family and the two representatives of the holy people of God in the center is Jesus' Him everything that moves, which attracts the ones and the others at the Temple, which is the house of his Father.
E 'a meeting between young people full of joy in observing the Law of the Lord and the elderly filled with joy for the action of the the Holy Spirit. It ' a unique encounter between compliance and prophecy , where young people are observant and the elderly are prophetic! But it seems the reverse, right? One thing different. In fact, if we think carefully, keeping the Law is animated by the same Spirit, and the prophecy moves in the path traced by the law. Who more than Mary is full of the Holy Spirit? Who better than she is docile to its action?
Given this scene meeting we look at the consecrated life as an encounter with Christ: it is He who comes to us, led by Mary and Joseph, and who are we going to Him, guided by the Holy Spirit. But the center is Him He moves everything, He draws us to the Temple, the Church, where we can meet with him, acknowledge it, accept it, embrace it.
Jesus comes to us in the Church through the foundational charism of an Institute: it's nice to think so our vocation! Our encounter with Christ took its shape in the Church through the charisma of his witness, of a witness. This always amazes us and makes us give thanks.
And even in the consecrated life you live the encounter between the young and the old, between observation and prediction. Do not let's see it as two opposing reality! Let the Holy Spirit rather than the minds both of them, and this is a sign of joy: the joy of watching, walking into a rule of life, and the joy of being led by the Spirit, never hard, never closed, always open to voice of God speaking, that opens, which leads, which invites us to go true horizon.
's good communicating the wisdom of the elderly to the young, and is good for young people to gather this wealth of experience and wisdom, and carry it forward, not to store it in a museum.No, no, no! To move forward with the challenges that life presents us, it gives us. Carry it forward for the good of their families and religious of the whole Church.

's grace of this mystery, the mystery of the meeting, enlighten us and comfort us in our journey.Amen.

Reading 1                  MAL 3:1-4

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.
Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.
But who will endure the day of his coming?
And who can stand when he appears?
For he is like the refiner’s fire,
or like the fuller’s lye.
He will sit refining and purifying silver,
and he will purify the sons of Levi,
Refining them like gold or like silver
that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.
Then the sacrifice of Judah and Jerusalem
will please the LORD,
as in the days of old, as in years gone by.

Responsorial Psalm                  PS 24:7, 8, 9, 10

R. (8) Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!
Lift up, O gates, your lintels;
reach up, you ancient portals,
that the king of glory may come in!
R. Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!
Who is this king of glory?
The LORD, strong and mighty,
the LORD, mighty in battle.
R. Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!
Lift up, O gates, your lintels;
reach up, you ancient portals,
that the king of glory may come in!
R. Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!
Who is this king of glory?
The LORD of hosts; he is the king of glory.
R. Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord!

Reading 2                 HEB 2:14-18

Since the children share in blood and flesh,
Jesus likewise shared in them,
that through death he might destroy the one
who has the power of death, that is, the Devil,
and free those who through fear of death
had been subject to slavery all their life.
Surely he did not help angels
but rather the descendants of Abraham;
therefore, he had to become 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.
Because he himself was tested through what he suffered,
he is able to help those who are being tested.

Gospel            LK 2:22-40

When the days were completed for their purification
according to the law of Moses,
Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem
to present him to the Lord,
just as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,
and to offer the sacrifice of
a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,
in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.
This man was righteous and devout,
awaiting the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit
that he should not see death
before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
He came in the Spirit into the temple;
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus
to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,
he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:

“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 peoples:
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and glory for your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;
and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,
“Behold, this child is destined
for the fall and rise of many in Israel,
and to be a sign that will be contradicted
—and you yourself a sword will pierce—
so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
There was also a prophetess, Anna,
the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.
She was advanced in years,
having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage,
and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.
She never left the temple,
but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.
And coming forward at that very time,
she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child
to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions
of the law of the Lord,
they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom;
and the favor of God was upon him.

Or LK 2:22-32

When the days were completed for their purification
according to the law of Moses,
Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem
to present him to the Lord,
just as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,
and to offer the sacrifice of

a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and glory for your people Israel.”

TODAY'S SAINT : PURIFICATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE CHILD JESUS

Presentation of Child Jesus in the Temple
Feast: February 2


Information:
Feast Day:February 2
The law of God, given by Moses to the Jews, to insinuate both to us and to them, that by the sin of Adam man is conceived and born in sin, and obnoxious to his wrath, ordained that a woman, after childbirth, should continue for a certain time in a state which that law calls unclean; during which she was not to appear in public, nor presume to touch any thing consecrated to God. This term was of forty days upon the birth of a son, and the time was double for a daughter: on the expiration of which, the mother was to bring to the door of the tabernacle, or temple, a lamb of a year old. and a young pigeon or turtle-dove. The lamb was for a holocaust, or burnt-offering, in acknowledgment of the sovereignty of God, and in thanksgiving for her own happy delivery; the pigeon or turtle-dove was for a sin-offering. These being sacrificed to Almighty God by the priest, the woman was cleansed of the legal impurity, and reinstated in her former privileges.

A young pigeon, or turtle-dove, by way of a sin-offering, was required of all, whether rich or poor: but whereas the charge of a lamb might be too burdensome on persons of narrow circumstances, in that case, nothing more was required, then two pigeons, or two turtle-doves, one for a burnt, the other for a sin-offering.
Our Saviour having been conceived by the Holy Ghost, and his blessed Mother remaining always a spotless virgin, it is most evident from the terms of the law, that she was, in reality, under no obligation to it, nor within the intent of it. She was, however, within the letter of the law, in the eye of the world, who were as yet strangers to her miraculous conception. And her humility making her perfectly resigned, and even desirous to conceal her privilege and dignity, she submitted with great punctuality and exactness to every humbling circumstance which the law required. Pride indeed proclaims its own advantages, and seeks honors not its due; but the humble find their delight in obscurity and abasement, they shun all distinction and esteem which they clearly see their own nothingness and baseness to be most unworthy of: they give all glory to God alone, to whom it is due. Devotion also and zeal to honor God by every observance prescribed by his law, prompted Mary to perform this act of religion, though evidently exempt from the precept. Being poor herself; she made the offering appointed for the poor: accordingly is this part of the law mentioned by St. Luke, as best agreeing with the meanness of her worldly condition. But her offering, however mean in itself, was made with a perfect heart, which is what God chiefly regards in all that is offered to him. The King of Glory would appear everywhere in the robes of poverty, to point out to us the advantages of a suffering and lowly state, and to repress our pride, by which, though really poor and mean in the eyes of God, we covet to appear rich, and, though sinners, would be deemed innocents and saints.
A second great mystery is honored this day, regarding more immediately the person of our Redeemer, viz. his presentation in the temple. Besides the law which obliged the mother to purify herself, there was another which ordered that the first-born son should be offered to God: and in these two laws were included several others, as, that the child, after its presentation, should be ransomed with a certain sum of money, and peculiar sacrifices offered on the occasion.
Mary complies exactly with all these ordinances. She obeys not only in the essential points of the law, as in presenting herself to be purified, and in her offering her first-born, but has strict regard to all the circumstances. She remains forty days at home, she denies herself all this time the liberty of. entering the temple, she partakes not of things sacred, though the living temple of the God of Israel; and on the day of her purification, she walks several miles to Jerusalem, with the world's Redeemer in her arms. She waits for the priest at the gate of the temple, makes her offerings of thanksgiving and expiation, presents her divine Son by the hands of the priest to his eternal Father, with the most profound humility, adoration, and thanksgiving. She then redeems him with five shekels, as the law appoints, and receives him back again as a depositum in her special care, till the Father shall again demand him for the full accomplishment of man's redemption. It is clear that Christ was not comprehended in the law; "The king's son, to whom the inheritance of the crown belongs, is exempt from servitude:- much more Christ, who was the Redeemer both of our souls and bodies, was not subject to any law by which he was to be himself redeemed," as St. Hilary observes. But he would set an example of humility, obedience, and devotion: and would renew, in a solemn and public manner, and in the temple, the oblation of himself to his Father for the accomplishment of his will, and the redemption of man, which he had made privately in the first moment of his Incarnation. With what sentiments did the divine Infant offer himself to his Father at the same time! the greatest homage of his honour and glory the Father could receive, and a sacrifice of satisfaction adequate to the injuries done to the Godhead by our sins, and sufficient to ransom our souls from everlasting death! With what cheerfulness  and charity did he offer himself to all his torments! to be whipped, crowned with thorns, and ignominiously put to death for us!
Let every Christian learn hence to offer himself to God with this divine victim, through which he may be accepted by the Father; let him devote himself with all his senses and faculties to his service. If sloth, or any other vice, has made us neglectful of this essential duty, we must bewail past omissions, and make a solemn and serious consecration of ourselves this day to the divine majesty with the greater fervor, crying out with St. Austin, in compunction of heart: "Too late have I known thee, too late have I begun to love thee, O beauty more ancient than the world!" But our sacrifice, if we desire it may be accepted, must not be lame and imperfect. It would be an insult to offer to God, in union with his Christ, a divided heart, or a heart infected with wilful sin. It must therefore first be cleansed by tears of sincere compunction: its affections must be crucified to the world by perfect mortification. Our offering must be sincere and fervent, without reserve, allowing no quarter to any of our vicious passions and inclinations, and no division in any of our affections. It must also be universal; to suffer and to do all for the divine honor. If we give our hearts to Christ in this manner, we shall receive him with his graces and benedictions. He would be presented in the temple by the hands of his mother: let us accordingly make the offering of our souls through Mary and beg his graces through the same channel.
The ceremony of this day was closed by a third mystery, the. meeting in the temple of the holy persons, Simeon and Anne, with Jesus and his parents, from which this festival was anciently called by the Greeks Hypante, the meeting. Holy Simeon, on that occasion, received into his arms the object of all his desires and sighs, and praised God in raptures of devotion for being blessed with the happiness of beholding the so much longed-for Messias. He foretold to Mary her martyrdom of sorrow; and that Jesus brought redemption to those who would accept of it on the terms it was offered them; but a heavy judgment on all infidels who should obstinately reject it, and on Christians also whose lives were a contradiction to his holy maxims and example. Mary, hearing this terrible prediction, did not answer one word, felt no agitation of mind from the present, no dread for the future; but courageously and sweetly committed all to God's holy will. Anne also, the prophetess, who, in her widowhood, served God with great fervor, had the happiness to acknowledge and adore in this great mystery the world's Redeemer. Amidst the crowd of priests and people, the Saviour of the world is known only by Simeon and Anne. Even when he disputed with the doctors, and when he wrought the most stupendous miracles, the learned, the wise, and the princes did not know him. Yet here, while a weak, speechless child, carried in the arms of his poor mother, he is acknowledged and adored by Simeon and Anne. He could not hide himself from those who sought him with fervor, humility, and ardent love. Unless we seek him in these dispositions, he will not manifest himself, nor communicate his graces to us. Simeon, having beheld his Saviour in the flesh, desired no longer to see the light of this world, nor any creatures on earth If we truly love God, our distance from him must be a continual pain: and we must sigh after that desired moment which will free us from the danger of ever losing him by sin, and will put us in possession of Him who is the joy of the blessed, and the infinite treasure of heaven. Let us never cease to pray that he purify our hearts from all earthly dross, and draw them to himself: that he heal, satiate, and inflame our souls, as he only came upon earth to kindle in all hearts the fire of his love

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY HAS A DIRTY SECRET

This Sunday February 2, 2014 is Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA. This is one of the largest sports weekends of the year. Many warn that this will also be the largest sex trafficking event where young girls are recruited and forced into the sex trade. Sex trafficking is a $32 billion dollar per year industry globally, and a $9.5 billion dollar industry in the United States alone. It is estimated that about 400,000 children are affected by sex trafficking in the U.S. each year. The average victim is 12 years of age. According to research, in 2010, an estimated 10,000 prostitutes were transported to Miami, Florida for the the Super Bowl, and 133 minors were arrested in 2011 in Dallas.  Therefore, this year, billboards have been launched in Times Square to help raise awareness surrounding human trafficking in the nation. Also the Transportation Authority has also launched an awareness campaign. The police are trying to be vigilant this year to enforce laws surrounding prostitution.

CATHOLIC HERALD CO UK REPORT: St Margaret’s Children and Family Care Society has been successful in its appeal to keep its charitable status.
In a unanimous ruling, the Scottish Charity Appeal Panel has decided in favour of the adoption agency, and overturned a ruling by OSCR (the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) that St Margaret’s must lose its charitable status.
A spokesman for St Margaret’s said: “We are delighted and relieved that the threat hanging over us has been lifted. Our only wish is to continue to do the good work for which we have been recognised by the authorities, of placing children in need of families with loving parents.”
Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow, president of St Margaret’s, said: “We are grateful for this wise decision. It means that families who are ready to adopt can look forward to the future with a little more serenity, and children in great need can be placed into loving homes. St Margaret’s is a small agency which does great work for the wider community and helps transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in society. It would have been have been a great pity if it had been forced to close.”
