DENVER, CO UPCOMING EVENTS AT THE CATHEDRAL: RESPECT LIFE HOLY HOUR The Respect Life Holy Hour will be held at the Cathedral this Sunday, February 1, 2015 at 3:00 pm. Come and join us in prayer and meditation as the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed. SUNDAY VEPERS Sung Vespers before the Sunday evening Mass at 5:45 pm on February 1, 2015 Please consider coming to this Liturgy, which is prayed by the universal church. FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD Monday, February 2, 2015 The Feast of the Presentation recalls the episode in the life of Jesus when Mary and Joseph took Him up to the Temple in Jerusalem to present Him to God as required by the Law of Moses for all first-born sons. The infant Jesus’ entry into the temple is the fulfillment of the prophecy given in the book of the Prophet Malachi 3:1, “I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me; and suddenly there will come to the Temple, the Lord Whom you seek, and the messenger of the Covenant Whom you desire.” Recounted in the Gospel of St. Luke 2:22-40, the aged Simeon, to Whom it had been revealed that he would not die until He beheld the Messiah takes the infant Jesus into his arms and praises God in the prayer which the Church says every night. “Lord, now you let you servant go in peace; your word has been fulfilled: my own eyes have seen the Salvation which You have prepared in the sight of every people: a light to reveal You to the Nations and the glory of Your people Israel.” It is in celebration of the Light of Christ that dispels all darkness that candles are blessed and carried into the Church in procession. MEMORIAL OF ST. BLASÉ Tuesday, February 3, 2015 is the memorial of St. Blaise. St. Blaise is the patron of all who suffer from ailments of the throat, and traditionally on this day we have a special blessing of throats with two candles blessed on the Feast of the Presentation. We will have the blessing of throats following each of the daily Masses. MASS WITH ARCHBISHOP AQUILA On Sunday, February 8, at 10:30 a.m. Archbishop Aquila will celebrate Mass here at the Cathedral in a celebration of World Day of Consecrated Life.
