Episode Details

The gospel to celebrate the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple reminds us of certain actions we need to monitor in our lives. Basically, it is the movement of presenting ourselves before the Lord. The devil hates this because what he wants is that we depart from him. The inches he succeeds in distancing us from our Savior are a point for him. We are therefore going in the opposite direction if we are not moving toward God's place or direction. Simeon reported to the temple to witness his salvation, and that meant seeing Jesus. Mary and Joseph also reported to the Temple to do as the Law specified. Let us get used to this. Otherwise, it is hell we are headed to.
