Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Lk 19:45-48Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive outthose who were selling things, saying to them,    “It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer,    but you have made it a den of thieves.”And every day he was teaching in the temple area.The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,were seeking to put him to death,but they could find no way to accomplish their purposebecause all the people were hanging on his words.
