"I want to anticipate Sunday's feast of
the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. Let's consider an event that
was glorious in its significance and fulfilment, yet was missed by
nearly everyone.
"Joseph and Mary had brought Jesus to the
Temple to present Him there. As they ascended the glorious steps to the
Temple Mount, they were fulfilling a requirement of the Law. . . . Although they were fulfilling an
obligation, something much more dramatic was taking place. To understand
what, we must look back to 587 B.C."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on how the "Ark of God (Mary) had been found and God
(Jesus) had returned to His temple, but only Simeon and Anna noticed,
understood, and celebrated."
