Today we celebrate the glorious event of Jesus being presented in the temple by Mary and Joseph. Simeon had been waiting for this moment his entire life and once he held Jesus, his life was complete. I’m sure Simeon had many ambitions and goals within his life, but his life was fulfilled once he met Jesus.
 
What is your mission and purpose in life? It will not be the same as Simeon but it will have similarities. God has a perfect plan for each of us that He reveals to us in faith. This calling and purpose will about us receiving Christ in the temple of our hearts and then praising and worshipping Him for all to see.
 
Let us not miss our own call or mission. Each of us needs to continue to listen, anticipate, and act in faith as that plan unfolds so that we too, may one day rejoice and go in peace confident that this calling has been fulfilled.
 

Have a blessed week,
Fr. Matt
