Food for the Journey Classics · Feb 2, 2026 · 13m

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. In the Gospel, we hear how the prophetess Anna lived at the Temple, worshipping day and night with fasting and prayer. She and Simeon were so faithful, they were able to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. The elderly in your lives who have been faithful to God are signs that can lead you closer to God. Sr. Ann reflects on how we can follow their example and looks at today’s readings:

Malachi 3:1-4

Psalm 24:7, 8, 9, 10

Hebrews 2:14-18

Luke 2:22-40 or 2:22-32
