"We exist to bring every person into intimacy with Christ."
The Pope's Intentions for FEBRUARY:
For vocations to the priesthood and religious life
Let us pray that the ecclesial community might welcome the desires and doubts of those young people who feel a call to serve Christ's mission in the priesthood and religious life.
The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
Candlemas
Sunday, February 2nd
Traditionally, the Catholic Church blesses candles on this day to be used throughout the year, symbolizing Jesus as the "Light of the World", coming into the world to despel darkness. Thus, the name Candlemas, meaning Candle Mass.
"Come, I say, to Jesus who shines out to us from Simeon’s arms. He will give light to your faith, lustre to your works, meaning to your words for men, ardour to your prayer, purity to your intentions… And when this life’s lamp is extinguished there will arise a life’s light which can never be extinguished, a shimmering noonday light, arising as it were at the evening of your life."
