THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE
“When the time had come in which, according to the law, Mary was to be purified in the Temple and to present Jesus to the Eternal Father, she, accompanied by St. Joseph, directed her steps toward Jerusalem. Joseph took two turtledoves, which were to be offered, and Mary took her beloved Infant. She took the Divine Lamb to offer Him to God, as a token of the great sacrifice which He would one day accomplish on the cross. O God, we also unite our sacrifice to that of Mary: We offer your Incarnate Son. By His merits we beseech you to grant us Your grace. We do not deserve it, but Jesus sacrificed Himself to You to obtain this for us. For the love of Jesus, then, have mercy on us.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori, Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary
