Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the temple.

When we do what Jesus did—bring glad tidings to  the poor, liberty to captives, healing to the sick, and freedom to the oppressed—we serve the Kingdom of God.

The King that we are celebrating today, came to establish the kingdom of God, and his authority and power was the power of love, mercy and compassion, and he paid the ransom for his subjects through the sacrifice of his own life.
