LIFETHOUGHTS February 2 – Purification of Mary and Presentation of Our Lord

 

LIFETHOUGHTS February 2 – Purification of Mary and Presentation of Our Lord – Ever since sinfulness first afflicted creation, labor and delivery sheds a mother’s blood. The Law of the Lord laments that this echo and threat of death operates right where human life emerges from. So He intervenes with atonement to preserve that precious life. And Jesus embodies this opposition to abortion from the very beginning (Luke 2:22-24).
