Prayer

The feast of the presentation of Mary

dates back to the 6th century in the East

and the 15th century in the West. It is

based on an ancient tradition that says

Mary was taken to the temple in

Jerusalem when she was 3-years-old and

dedicated to God. What we celebrate on

this day is the fact that God chose to

dwell in Mary in a very special way. In

response, Mary placed her whole self at

the service of God. Every moment since

your Baptism, God invites you to be open

to his grace and dedicate yourself to him,

as Mary did.

This is a very special day for the

Presentation Sisters who continue to

inspire us in the image of Nano Nagle.
