World Day for Consecrated Life

[Sister Leticia]

As you no doubt know, Candlemas is also the World Day for Consecrated Life. Do please pray for us Annas and Simeons, those who spend all their time in the temple, and those called to make known the light to enlighten all nations. Pray that we may always recognise and rejoice in Jesus, even when he appears in the most ordinary and unlikeliest of guises. 

Pope Francis' homily for this feast is rather lovely

I watched it early yesterday morning on EWTN! When done, he walked right over to a line up of religious sisters and they got to shake/kiss his hand! ;-)
