February the 2nd  is the date that was chosen to celebrate the Light in our communities. It is the day of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem, the day when Joseph and Mary come joyful to bring Jesus into the temple.I propose on that occasion that we pray with an extract of a poem by Saint Therese of Lisieux that relates this episode from the Gospel of Luke:  "I love you mingling with the other women, Walking toward the holy temple. I love you presenting the Savior of our souls To the blessed Old Man who presses Him to his heart. At first I smile as I listen to his canticle, But soon his tone makes me shed tears. Plunging a prophetic glance into the future, Simeon presents you with a sword of sorrows." It is true, the parents are well aware of that sword that pierced their hearts, but in Faith and Light, the mystery of joy and friendship quells many tears! Happy feast of light in your communities!
