Presentation of the Lord, February 2, 2025
Malachi 3: Look! I'm sending my messenger on ahead to clear the way for me. Suddenly, out of the blue, the Leader you've been looking for will enter his Temple – yes, the Messenger of the Covenant, the one you've been waiting for.
Hebrews 2: That's why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people's sins, he would have already experienced it all himself – all the pain, all the testing – and would be able to help where help was needed.
Luke 2: Then when the days stipulated by Moses for purification were complete, they took him up to Jerusalem to offer him to God as commanded in God's Law: "Every male who opens the womb shall be a holy offering to God,"

Rosemary's Blessing:
What good did it do when you frowned? Let me ask:
Did it help you at all to accomplish your task?
Did it lighten your burden or help you along?
Did the frown that you wore make a right out of wrong?
What good did it do to be grouchy today?
Did your surliness drive any trouble away?
Did you cover more ground than you usually do?
Because of the grouch that you carried with you?
If not, what’s the use of a grouch or a frown?
If it won’t smooth a path or a grim trouble down?
If it doesn’t assist you, it isn’t worth while:
Your work may be hard, but just do it and smile.
