The Presentation of the Lord
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph went to the Temple in Jerusalem to fulfill the commands of the Law of Moses. There was the matter of a sacrifice to redeem the life of a firstborn son, normally a male lamb without defect. Because the Holy Family was poor, they offered two turtledoves. What was prefigured in the blood sacrifices of old, however, is fulfilled in the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus, who is the True Lamb of God who takes away our sins and gives us new life. We are able to share in Jesus’ sacrifice through the mystery of the Eucharist. Thanks be to God!

Our Lady of Guadalupe… Pray for us.
