The Gospel of Luke shows Jesus as the king who comes into the world to give perfect fulfillment to God's law and offer salvation to everyone, without exception. He begins by telling us the story of John the Baptist and his mission to prepare the way of Jesus with the grace of the Holy Spirit, introduces us to Joseph, from the house of David, as the husband of Mary, a humble woman who, before the announcement of an angel gives a "generous Yes" that opens the doors to Love. And thus he introduces us to the story of Jesus from his childhood. In Luke 2:22 we find that "When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,"
Today God wants to remind you of the importance of presenting yourself and offering yourself to Him as an act of donation, delivery and fidelity. Luke reveals God as the Messiah from the obedience of Joseph and Mary to the law of God beginning with the purification of the woman after giving birth and continuing with the rite of presentation of the male firstborn child. Thus, he introduces us to the fidelity of the holy family to God, making us recognize their simplicity and humility within the offering of two lovebirds as a sacrifice and a symbol of scarce resources. Reveling Jesus as a man who is united to God in every sense and from his childhood learns through his family to present Himself to God and to others. Today God is calling you by the hand of holy family to present yourself before God as you are so that through His Love and Grace, we may learn to respond to his calling following in Jesus footsteps.
May the Lord open our hearts to His Eternal Love 🙏💕🕊️
