This child shared the journey each human being makes through his/her mother’s womb. Jesus was an embryo, a fetus, an unborn child. By assuming all the stages of our human journey, he also redeemed them. This is closely related to a second key theme: we belong to God. The Presentation is also a declaration: this child is God’s. In Jesus’ case this is true in an even deeper way, because he is God’s only-begotten Son. If he belongs to the Father, so do all of us, and so do the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the unborn. Human life cannot be owned by other human beings nor by the power of the state. It belongs only to God. Celebrating the Presentation, therefore, gives each of us the privilege and obligation of proclaiming, celebrating, and serving that gift of life as it is entrusted to the care (not the ownership) of all of us. 1:30 p.m. For Our Priests 5:00 p.m. Stefan Anschutz & Family LECTOR SCHEDULE Weekend of Feb 7-8 Saturday And our holding of candles on this Feast represents the fact that we shine the light of this truth in a dark Culture of Death. The glory of God, which Christ shines forth to the Gentiles, is a glory reflected in every human life, no matter what its condition. ~http://www.priestsforlife.org/ 5:00 p.m. Rick Humburg & John Meyers Sunday The Archdiocese of Atlanta and Diocese of Savannah invite Georgia Catholics to the State Capitol in Atlanta to exercise our baptismal call as advocates for public policy that protects those who are vulnerable and 8:30 a.m. Bob Longo & Laurie Ashmore 11:00 a.m. Mimi Soileau & Ann Johnson 1:30 p.m. Juan Godinez & Rosa Godinez 5:00 p.m. Gwen Scott promotes the common good.

José y María llevaron a Jesús al templo de Jerusalén, también se conoce como "Día de la Candelaria". Este día también se celebra la Jornada Mundial de la Vida Consagrada Origen de la fiesta: Esta costumbre tiene su origen en la celebración litúrgica de la fiesta de la purificación y la presentación del Niño Dios al templo. En tiempo de Jesús, la ley prescribía en el Levítico que toda mujer debía presentarse en el templo para purificarse a los cuarenta días que hubiese dado a luz. Si el hijo nacido era varón, debía ser circuncidado a los ocho días y la madre debería permanecer en su casa durante treinta y tres días más, purificándose a través del recogimiento y la oración… Explicación de la fiesta: El día 2 de febrero de cada año, se recuerda esta presentación del Niño Jesús al templo, llevando a alguna imagen del Niño Dios a presentar a la iglesia o parroquia. También ese día, se recuerdan las palabras de Simeón, llevando candelas (velas hechas de parafina pura) a bendecir, las cuales simbolizan a Jesús como luz de todos los hombres. De aquí viene el nombre de la “Fiesta de las candelas” o el “Día de la Candelaria”. ~ es.catholic.net 6 de febrero Primer Viernes Adoracion Eucaristica Después de la Misa de 11:30pm continúa la Adoración al Santísimo Sacramento del Altar hasta el sábado 03 de enero antes de la Misa de 8:30 am.

In today’s Old Testament passage, Moses speaks of another prophet God will raise from among the Israelites. In St. Mark’s Gospel, that prophecy is fulfilled in Christ Jesus, Who speaks, heals, and casts out evil spirits with authority in the synagogue at Capernaum. As faithful stewards, we acknowledge Christ as the Great Prophet and also the popes and others of our time who continue to speak out against moral relativism and injustices present in our day.
