Suggested Reflection Questions:
- The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, sometimes called Candlemas, reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the Word. What are some small ways that you can help bring light to others?
- In the Gospel reading, Anna’s dedication to prayer and her faith life is very inspiring. How can you dedicate more time in your day to prayer?
- The Gospel reading is all about the custom of every male child being presented to the Lord. In everyday life, how can you better present yourself to God? Similarly to Anna, that might mean dedicating more time to prayer, or something as small as lighting a candle while studying to spend time in the presence of the Lord.
