Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

 On the 40th day after Christmas we together with the Church in the whole world celebrate Christ, the light for revelation to the gentiles (Lk 2: 32).

According to tradition the candles are blessed, which will be used in the chapel throughout the year.

By procession we walked towards the chapel

We are called to be people of light, 

to let the light of Christ shine 

in a world troubled with all kind of darkness.

So let us also, gathered together by the Holy Spirit,

proceed to the house of God to encounter Christ.

There we shall find him 

and recognize him in the breaking of the bread,

until he comes again, revealed in glory. 

(from the Collect of the Day)

The day is also the Day of Consecrated Life and the feast day of Sr. Lumen Gloria Dungca, our Vicaress General, reason enough to celebrate with cake...

prepared by our lay co-workers Laura and Vincenza.

One could taste the love and joy, with which it was prepared.

Thank you!

Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts
Shine through the darkness
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
