The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

FOCAL POINT:

“Because it is an action of Christ the High Priest and of His body, the Church, the liturgy is a sacred action surpassing all other activity in efficacy. Consequently, the religious will regard it as their duty to ensure that the faithful participate knowingly, actively and fruitfully.” (Con. 217)

1. For our Congregation and for our superiors and for vocations to the Congregation.
2. In thanksgiving for all the blessings we have received communally and individually.
3. In thanksgiving for the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially her gift of Motherhood to our Congregation.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“A person who could afford to spend and consume more but regularly uses less heating and wears warmer clothes, shows the kind of convictions and attitudes which help to protect the environment.” (Laudato Si’, 211)
