“Living a Life of Worship: Placing Everything on the Altar” - Homily - Presentation of the Lord

In this homily, Fr. Michael reflects on the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple and how Mary lived interiorly of the liturgy. She offered her Son to the Father, consecrating Him to God, while remaining open to the prophecy of Simeon and Anna. Fr. Michael challenges us to do the same—placing our lives, our children, our work, and all that we have on the altar. This is not just an act of worship but a way of life. He also encourages us to be open to hearing God’s voice today through Scripture, the Church, and the community.
