Mary, Offering Herself in the Offering of Her Son
Our Lady, with all her humility, prepared her soul to present the Son of God to the Father and to offer herself to Him. By doing so, she renewed her FIAT, her “be it done unto me according to Thy Word.” WE, TOO, CAN LEARN FROM HER HUMILITY, AND THAT OF ST. JOSEPH AS WELL, BY OFFERING OUR LIFE AT GOD’S DISPOSITION, convinced that all we are and all we have, we have received gifts from Our Lord.
Simeon’s and Anna’s examples of waiting for the Messiah are for us as well a lesson to follow. They aspired for what is most important in this life: to see and live for the Messiah. WE, TOO, SHOULD ASPIRE TO SEEK, FIND, DEAL AND LOVE JESUS AND LIVE FOR HIM IN THIS LIFE IN ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE.
At the same time, today’s feast is an open invitation for us to: RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO THE LORD. COMMITTED CATHOLICS 24/7! NOT JUST AN HOUR A DAY, BUT 24/7, ever vigilant to do that which God asks from each one of us throughout the entire day; LIGHTING UP as lit-candles the environment where we move about by our struggles to be better Christians.
