Today in the Church...

Today is the Feast of the Presentation of Mary, an oft forgotten celebration in the Catholic Church.  At least, I know I forgot it.  According to tradition, and some non canonical writings, Mary was taken to the Temple at a very young age and given to God.  She remained there until she was old enough to become the wife of Joseph, and ultimately, the mother of Jesus.  This Feast is another reminder of the fact that Mary was not just the mother of God but also His most obedient and humble servant.    Mary presented in the Temple, pray for us. ____________________________ Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum, Paul A.
