What a great weekend this is to be at Mass as we celebrate Jesus’ dedication 40 days after we packed Lumen Christi to celebrate His birth at Christmas!
The gospel reading is such a beautiful reflection of Mary and Joseph’s devoted parenting and dedication to their faith. In a way, Jesus’ parents teach us - through their act of duty and devotion - the importance of being active and engaged in our faith life and our parish. LC needs us! The church thrives when we all actively participate and engage - whether that’s through any of the various ministry opportunities, or “simply” by coming to Mass - our church shines brighter when each of us plays a role.
As Mary and Joseph showed us the way many years ago, let’s do what we can to come to Mass regularly, participate fully in the sacraments, and engage in deep ways to help make Lumen Christi shine bright!
