Fifth Day within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord

Year of the Family "Amoris Laetitia The Joy of Love"

Saint: Saint Thomas Becket, Bishop, Martyr (1118-1170)

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 71 Mutual Obedience

Mass: 1 Jn 2:3-11; Resp Ps 96; Lk 2:22-35

Splendor and majesty go before Him.

THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.
(Lk 2:35)

In today's Gospel, Simeon, a man righteous and devout (Lk 2:25), takes Jesus into his arms, blesses God, and says, "My own eyes have seen the salvation which you prepared in the sight of every people, a light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel"! (Lk 2:30-32). In what ways, small and great, have you seen the salvation of God revealed during these days of the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord? God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 Jn 1:5).

SAINT THOMAS BECKET,
MARY, QUEEN OF MARTYRS,
PRAY FOR US.
