THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD FEBRUARY 2, 2020

Sunday, February 2

9:00 am Little Lambs

10:00 am RE Gr. K-8

�

�

Presentation of the Lord�

“Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to

your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you pre-

pared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelation to the

Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.” Very often, having

more light is not something we desire as it forces us to confront

something we really do not want to see. There can be comfort

found in darkness. It has an eerie sense of security to it. We do not

have to challenge ourselves or be challenged and can simply exist

in some fabricated state of self-fabricated blissfulness. Jesus came

to bring light, and it is a light that is resisted by many and hated by

some. It is a light that causes us to see things as they really are and

not as we would want or need them to be.

It is no wonder then that Simeon boldly and honestly proclaims to

Mary, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many

in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted and you your-

self a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts may be

revealed.” We have to take the Gospel message as it is and not just

use those parts that are useful to us or more palatable. Taking Jesus

at face value can and will lead to turmoil and dissention. Hearts

will be pierced. Whether we like it, Jesus’ proclamation of what

the world God created really ought to look like has real and abso-

lute social implications.

It has a lot to say about how we treat our brothers and sisters: spir-

itually, personally, economically, and globally. It has everything to

do with the poor, the immigrant, the scared, the unborn, the vulner-

able, the sick, and the broken. The light opens us to a challenging,

table-turning experience that may not be something we want to see

but shows us where we need to be.
