Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Holy Family”: Today’s Gospel episode captures the “Purification” of the Child Jesus in the Temple. As we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family, let us “consecrate” our family to God’s Protection, Guidance and Love. Let us pray for all families, especially those who are undergoing through much pain and suffering.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 2:22, 39-40
When the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, the parents of Jesus took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.
When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. Meanwhile the child grew to maturity and he was filled with wisdom; and God’s favour was with him.
