Don’t forget the three promises for

Holy Family
Our February Catholic devotion is
to the Holy Family
For over a millennium, today’s feast marked the end of the Christmas season. The forty days of Christmas that began with Midnight Mass and extended to today, Candlemas, recalling the Presentation of the baby Jesus in the Temple, echo the Law of Moses requiring that every first-born
son be redeemed by the offering of sacrifice to God. The Masses this weekend begin with a special blessing of candles to signify that Jesus is the Light of the Nations and the Glory of His people, Israel. Our outdoor Crib that has been in place right through to today’s older commemoration of the Christmas season is finally dismantled, and our minds begin to see Lent on the horizon just a month away.
As we celebrate the baby Jesus being consecrated in the Temple in Jerusalem and we receive a blessed candle, let us ask that His light shine in and through us, with the prayers of our Lady and St Joseph, too.
