Br. Titus Mary Sanchez, O.P., on Old Church Ladies

"You've seen them in public, even in places where you thought you were alone. It's likely that you've been kissed by one at least once in your life. We all know one. It's possible there's even one in your own family. For all you know, you might even be one. That's right. I'm talking about the 'old church lady.'

"'Old church ladies' have been around for a long time. In this Sunday's Gospel reading, we are introduced to an 'old church lady' named Anna. She is elderly, her husband has long since died, and she spends  'night and day/ praying and fasting in the Temple (Luke 2:37). Sound familiar? Anna fits the bill for an 'old church lady.'"

In a recent commentary, Brother Titus Mary Sanchez, O.P., reflected "old church ladies" and how their presence reminds us that God keeps His promises.
