Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord
At the beginning of the Holy Mass celebrated by the Bishop, Blessed Mother said, “Do you know when I offered my Son and took Him to the Temple, I offered with Him the whole human race, till the end of the world. I offered all my children to God. You were all with me, especially those who remained faithful to us.”
Our Blessed Mother’s suffering was a big test when Simeon told her she would experience sorrow like a sword piercing her heart. She said, “But I also experienced sorrow for humanity because I knew they were all around me, and I had to offer all of you to our Lord in the Temple.”
