Sunday Collection: $ 3,702 GOSPEL REFLECTION LK 2,22-40 The Feast of the Presentation, sometimes called the Feast of Meeting, is, at its core, a feast of lon- ging. This feast reveals the longing between huma- nity and divinity. Our deepest longings are to know and be known. That can only ever really happen in relationship to God. This is not about gathering in- formation or learning about God. This kind of kno- wing is of the heart not the intellect. It is about the union that sets us free, the oneness that allows us to depart in peace, and the relationship that is sa- lvation. For this to happen we must live with and offer the fragility, vulnerability, and joy of an open and longing heart. That heart is the temple of mee- ting, the place where today we find Mary and Jo- seph, Anna, Simeon, and Jesus. Longing is not an absence or emptiness waiting to be filled. Longing is a presence and fullness waiting to be expressed, manifested. Two persons do not long for each other because they are apart. They long for each other because they are in love. We are sometimes too quick to quench the longing, to satisfy the desi- re. That never takes us to the temple. It keeps life superficial and us moving from one “fix” to another. Longing, however, if trusted and followed always takes us to the temple, the place of meeting. Longing – A Reflection on the Feast of the Presentation, Luke 2:22-40 FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presenta- tion of Jesus in the temple. The Presentation, which is celebrated 40 days after Christmas, is not mentioned in the other Gospels. Only Luke tells the story, most likely because he writes for Gentile Christians who are not familiar with the Jewish rite of presentation and purification. Luke recognizes Joseph and Mary as fai- thful Jews who bring Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem. Here they present their firstborn son to the Lord. Jesus is thus consecrated as required by the Law of Moses. Present in the temple at this time are Simeon and An- na. Both are awaiting the restoration of God’s rule in Israel. Simeon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would see Christ the Lord, the Messiah, before he died. The holy man immediately recognized the in- fant Jesus as the promised Savior, a “light for revela- tion to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel. ” Anna also recognized Jesus as the fulfillment of the promise of redemption and spoke about him to all. WEEKEND WITH ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AT CHRIST THE KING PARISH You are invited for the weekend with St. Michael the Archangel at our parish on Feb 22/23. It will be an opportunity to thank God for our protector – St. Micha- el, and to get to know him even more. At the end of every mass we ask for his intersection. Come & see.

REFLEKSJA EWANGELICZNA ŁK 2,22-40 Jezus – pierwszy całkowicie oddany Ojcu i konse-krowany, poświęcony dla misji. Tak maleńki, a już rozpoznany przez Symeona i Annę w swojej najgłębszej tożsamości. Życie Boga-Człowieka ofiarowane w darze! Życie, które wnosi pokój, błogosławieństwo, radość, nadzieję. Maryja i Jó-zef, przynosząc Dzieciątko Jezus do świątyni, przynoszą Bogu także swoje życie i życie Świętej Rodziny, które wpisuje się w misję Syna Bożego. Jezus w tajemnicy swojego ofiarowania w świąty-ni uczy nas, że za każdym razem, gdy coś z siebie szczerze ofiarujemy innym, mogą oni dostrzec w nas coś z piękna i tajemnicy Boga samego. Ofiaru-ję Ci dziś, Jezu, wszystkie osoby konsekrowane. Dziękuję, że przypominają mi o wartości życia ofia-rowanego dla innych. https://www.paulus.org.pl/czytania?data=2020-2-2
OFIAROWANIE PAŃSKIE W dzisiejszą niedzielę, 2 lutego, przypada s więto Ofiarowania Pan skiego, nazywane s więtem Matki Bo-żej Gromnicznej. Od początku czczono w Kościele pamiątkę przyniesienia Dzieciątka Jezus przez Maryję i Jo zefa do s wiątyni jerozolimskiej. Od X wieku upo-wszechnił się zwyczaj błogosławienia w tym dniu s wiec. S więto Ofiarowania Pan skiego ukazuje nam Chrystusa – S wiatłos c s wiata. Przyniesiona przez nas świeca ma przypominać, że Chrystus nieustannie oświeca drogi naszego życia. W wydarzeniu Ofia-rowania Pan skiego wyjątkowa jest tez obecnos c star-co w Symeona i Anny. Dlatego dzis modlimy się w in-tencji ludzi w podeszłym wieku. Sędziwi Symeon i Anna pokazują nam, z e u schyłku z ycia moz na do-strzec sprawy, kto rych nie dostrzegają inni. Są oni takz e nauczycielami trudnej umiejętnos ci przygoto-wania się do odejs cia z tego s wiata. Wpatrzeni w ich wiarę i całkowite oddanie Panu Bogu powinnis my zastanowic się nad samym aktem naszej wiary.
ŚWIATOWY DZIEŃ ŻYCIA KONSEKROWANEGO W s więto Ofiarowania Pan skiego w Kos ciele po-wszechnym obchodzimy ustanowiony przez S więtego Jana Pawła II S wiatowy Dzien Z ycia Konsekrowanego – tegoroczny jest juz 24. z kolei. Naszą modlitwą obej-mujemy osoby, kto re oddały swoje z ycie na słuz bę Panu Bogu i ludziom w zakonach, zgromadzeniach i instytutach s wieckich. Pros my tez o liczne i s więte powołania do z ycia zakonnego.
W TYM TYGODNIU Pierwszy czwartek – dziękujemy za dar Eucharystii i kapłan stwa, prosimy o nowe i s więte powołania do pracy w Kos ciele. Pierwszy piątek - przez adorację Najs więtrzego Sa-kramentu, spowiedz , naboz en stwo do Serca Pana Je-zusa i komunię wynagradzająca oddajemy czes c Naj-s więtrzemu Sercu Pana Jezusa.
