And it was human hands that took his life as he presented himself to the father on the cross. As we are human, we as a race were present by representation and were participants at both events. A real mystery to contemplate indeed.

The characters of today’s reading revered the lord true their obedience to the Lord and also their personal relationship with him. In the end they were happy. Its about time i developed a personal relationship with God so i could hear him speak to my spirit and also gain true happiness.

A wonderful celebration
attended by family / friends, remembering how I felt that day as I held this tiny baby in my arms.

As I close my eyes, taking myself to be there following & watching the Holy Family in all of their activities from home to the temple and on the rituals of offering & cleansing, i feel different emotions. It is like in a 3D movie, as if I was really there.

Watching Simeon, with Anna, looking the facial expression of Joseph & Mary, really it touches me deeply.

Thank you Sis Mary, you have lead my inner self into a new discovery. Thank you so much for this beautiful and awesome learning. A deeper contemplation of the mysteries of the rosary and of the scripture reading. Your narration too help a lot in knowing the background of the story.

There still more and a lot to be learned here!

God Bless!
