The Presentation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary

Feast day: November 21

As soon as her tiny feet could walk, Mary was brought to the Temple by her holy parents, Joachim and Anne. With what an ecstasy of delight she must have entered into the Temple, crying out: "How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts; my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord?" (Psalm 83. 1.2). Have I any of the same desire to consecrate my life to the Lord?
