Office of Faith Formation
There are no classes on Sunday, November 25, 2018.
Many things in our lives and in our world are subject to change. Yet all of us
find security in relationships and values that endure. Foremost among these
are our family relationships. We can confidently accept change if we know
that we will continue to be loved by our family and by God. We help impart
this sense of trust and confidence in our children with our daily assurances
to them that nothing can change our love for them.
As you gather as a family, look through several family photo albums.
Observe and talk about things that have changed in your family life over the
years. Talk also about the things that have stayed the same. We do not need
to fear changes in our family life because we know that the most important
aspects of our family life do not change, such as our love for one another. The same is true with God and God’s love for
us. Jesus teaches us that things in our world will change and that the world itself will one day end. We don’t need to be
fearful because God’s love for us will never end. Conclude in prayer together thanking God for his never-ending love for
us. Peace, Dina

The Story of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth
century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The
Eastern Church was more interested in the feast, but it does
appear in the West in the 11th century. Although the feast at
times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th century it
became a feast of the universal Church.
As with Mary’s birth, we read of Mary’s presentation in the
temple only in apocryphal literature. In what is recognized as an
unhistorical account, the Protoevangelium of James tells us that
Anna and Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she
was 3 years old. This was to carry out a promise made to God
when Anna was still childless.
Though it cannot be proven historically, Mary’s presentation
has an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and of the
birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued
through her early childhood and beyond.
Reflection - It is sometimes difficult for modern Westerners to appreciate a feast like this. The Eastern Church, however,
was quite open to this feast and even somewhat insistent about celebrating it. Even though the feast has no basis in
history, it stresses an important truth about Mary: from the beginning of her life, she was dedicated to God. She herself
became a greater temple than any made by hands. God came to dwell in her in a marvelous manner and sanctified her
for her unique role in God’s saving work. At the same time, the magnificence of Mary enriches her children. They—we—
too are temples of God and sanctified in order that we might enjoy and share in God’s saving work.

with the adjustment that must be made during the holiday

Grace for Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Good and Gracious God, we thank You for gathering us
here today and for all the gifts that You’ve given us in
the year that’s past. We welcome the new addition(s)

responsible for the food we are about to eat, both near
and far. We remember those who go without: without
homes, without food, without peace. We ask You to
bless them and to soften our hearts. Amen.
