When the eight days of her purification were fulfilled, the took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.- Luke 2:22
Reflection: The origin, nature, destiny, and history of humanity are bound up in that Infant by the very fact of His birth among us. Without the knowledge of that history our human nature would remain an impenetrable enigma.
- Pope Pius XII
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Simeon and Anna greeted You when You were brought into the Temple as an infant by Mary Your Mother and Joseph Your foster father. May I be as anxious to recognize Your Presence in our midst.
