FAITH BOOK

The Presentation of the Lord

February 2, 2025

Malachi 3: 1-4; Psalm 24; Hebrews 2: 14-18; Luke 2: 22-40

By: Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Responsorial Psalm:

“Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord.”

Reflection:

Those who are faithful and vigilant in prayer are well-prepared to recognize God’s presence in ordinary people and events. Today’s Psalm is right: “Who is this king of glory?” What will help us recognize God’s entrance into our lives? Simeon and Anna teach us the answer: watchfulness and prayerful attentiveness.

So, we ask ourselves:

• Do I look for God in the daily events of my life?

• Do I have a regular pattern of prayer that helps me be alert to God’s presence in my daily life?
