7 This week, on February 2, we celebrate the Feast of the Presenta on of the Lord. This Feast is very old and was celebrated in the East as early as the 4th century. It came to be celebrated in Rome at the end of the 7th century and spread through the Western Church from there. It returns us to the Christmas season, focus-ing in on the person of Jesus, seen as a child and presented to the priests according to the law of Moses. In Jesus day, parents whose first child was a boy would go to the Temple 40 days a er the birth with the appropriate offering, presen ng their child to the Lord. (You may remem-ber that the final plague upon the Egyp ans was the killing of their first born. Since the children of Israel were spared, they were seen as belonging to the Lord.) This is what Mary and Joseph were doing in the Temple and it was an occasion for celebra- on. Every child is loved and celebrated, but the first child transforms the couple, husband and wife, into a family.

8 The child who is presented in the gospel is more than the joy of His parents; He is the joy of the world. This child is different from all the others. This child is Jesus, the Lord. This week, we celebrate an extraordinary mee ng of God with God. The Temple, His dwelling place, is visited by the Holy One Himself. Jesus first ac on is to come to the privileged place of encoun-ter between God and man. God meets man most wonderfully of all in the person of Jesus Christ true God, true man. An interes ng sidelight in this story is the mee ng between the young (Mary and Joseph) and the old (Simeon and Anna). The old have been faithful and persevered in their faith and are, late in life, reward-ed; their hope is fulfilled. In their old age, they meet the eternally youthful Son of God. At a me when we hear so much jus fica on of euthanasia, it is heartening to see the old valued in the pages of Holy Scripture.

9 Human life is sacred, and it is not what we do but what we are that gives us value. Par cularly relevant today is that we preach the Gospel of Life. We live in a society where abor on is regarded as acceptable, euthanasia is increasingly finding a place, war is s ll seen as a valid solu on to differences, and the lives of the poorest people of the world are not regarded as being of the same worth as our own lives. This is a society that needs Jesus Christ. 4 Parish of Immaculate Concep on and Assump on of Our Lady Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time January 30, 2022 Vol. 40, No. 05 Sacraments and Lit rg Nex Weekend s Celebrants 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Immaculate Conception CHURCH Saturday, February 5, 2022 5:00 PM: Fr.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if you were already there, and I unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. (Saint Alphonsus Liguori) Nex Weekend s Readings 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading I: Isaiah 6: 1-2a, 3-8 The call narra ve here underlines the prophet s authen city and jus fies his teaching. That teaching may prove to be unpopular or even sedi ous. Reading II: I Corinthians 15: 1-11, or 15: 3-8,11 Paul gives us the very creed of the Church, meant as the authen ca on of himself as an apostle of the risen Lord Jesus. The Gospel: Luke 5: 1-11 Jesus Kingdom teaching receives a posi ve response from Peter, James and John among others.
