On February 2, we celebrate the Presentation of the Lord.
The child Jesus is brought by Mary and Joseph to the temple
as it was Jewish custom for the first born son.
At the same time it is the Feast of Consecrated Life,
of all persons who with Jesus have given their lives to God.
Jesus is the light of revelation to the Gentiles
and glory to His people Israel.

Therefore, we process into the chapel with lights in our hands.
We thank Mary, who brought the light to the world,
and wish to follow her example.
