Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Lk 2,22-40

Of these three properties of fire, let us recall the fourth, most moving property of the burning candle. Ork serves people so intensively that it keeps getting smaller, burns itself, and sacrifices itself. Also, the Lord Jesus sacrificed his life for us out of love. After all, he said in advance: „Nobody has no greater love than the one who lays down his life for his friends.”(John 15,13) And at the Last Supper, the apostle announced his death on the cross with these words: „ This is my body, which is sacrificed for you”. And „this is the cup of my blood that is shed for you”. (Mass canon) Behold, these beautifully four qualities remind us of burning candles. They remind us that the Lord Jesus is our light, our strength, our love, so much love that he sacrificed his life. And from such reflection, a warm personal relationship with the Lord Jesus can be formed in our hearts: „ You are my light, you are my star, you are my love, you sacrificed your life for me. Strengthen me to love myself more and more and become more like you. This warm attraction to the Lord Jesus is reminded of burning candles. May our heavenly Mother, the Virgin Mary, who had the warmest relationship with the Lord Jesus and all the people in the world, help us with her example and intercession.
