TIME
The holidays are well behind us; the year stretches out ahead. And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in today’s Gospel, it will be “a year acceptable to the Lord.” And Jesus surely didn’t mean only the next three hundred sixty-five days facing his listeners at that time.
When Jesus announced the “arrival” of God’s favor, it was a message for all time, for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah how the people gathered with solemnity to hear God’s word as though for the first time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, “Today is holy . . . do not be sad, and do not weep.”
The “year acceptable to the Lord” is this year. The day that is “holy” is this day. The time to lis-ten is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? God’s help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and act on God’s word. ‐ Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

KNOWING YOUR GIFTS
Participants at a women's day of reflection were asked to compile a list of what they perceived as their God-given talents. Some gazed out of the window, oth-ers chewed on their pencils, and a few wrote things down and then vigorously crossed them out. Finally the facilitator asked everyone to share their lists. Kerrin stood up. Many people there knew her well. She was deeply involved in in-service to others. She studies scriptures, belonged to a prayer group, helped organize parish retreats, and ran a food pantry. She said, “I really had to think hard about this. I couldn’t come up with a list, because I don’t believe that I’m that special. But my family says I’m a gentle person.” There was an audible gasp of astonishment that Kerrin would not see her own gifts. Many of us may have never thought about what our real talents are, or we may think that to acknowledge them is to show undue pride. It is part of the adult life of faith, however, to rec-ognize what skills and capabilities God has blessed us with and then decide, in gratitude, to use these gifts to help God’s kingdom here on earth.

A PRAYER FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
This week we pray for our candidates for the sacrament of Confirmation as they spend time in retreat. May their time apart from us and their daily schedules help them deepen their commitment to the Holy Spirit, the Catho-lic Church, and our community.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Saturday’s feast of the Presentation is a day for the blessing of candles. Why does liturgy require candles? In the first years of the church, worship was often at night, and candles and torches were carried from place to place within the worship space as needed. Candles were also a mark of festivity and hospitality when peo-ple gathered for prayer in homes, and later on in large buildings with thick walls and dark corners. But even after gaslight and electricity, candles were kept. Part of the reason has to do with the warm, clean light of a candle’s flame. Candles are a good sign of the partnership of God and creation: wax made by bees, gathered and fashioned by human hands into something beautiful and useful. In order for the light to shine, the candle surrenders itself, almost as if it is pouring itself out so that the light can flood into the world. The candle of baptism, placed into our hands, and carried again and again, speaks silently of that same wisdom. If you would save your life, you must lose it. You must pour your life out like Christ so that you may be filled with the light of his love. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
