pm. God, Gods & No Gods: The Religions of Planet Earth with
Dr. Robin Lathangue
Why Compare religions? What value is there in knowing about the
teaching of traditions other than one’s own? Are religions really all
that different, or basically the same – like alternative hiking trails
to the top of the mountains? What are the trigger points, if any, that
make it difficult for them to get along together?
All these questions and more await your curiosity.

Gospel Luke 2.22-40 www.loyolapress.com
Mary and Joseph present Jesus at the Temple in accordance with
the Law of Moses.
Gospel Reflection Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family. This
celebration is assigned to the Sunday within the octave of
Christmas. The Gospel for today is taken from the Gospel
according to Luke and is part of Luke’s Infancy Narrative. Today’s
Gospel describes the presentation of the child Jesus in the Temple
and shows Joseph and Mary as devout Jews, following the
prescriptions of the Law of Moses. The Gospel alludes to several
aspects of the Law of Moses: circumcision, the dedication of the
firstborn son to the Lord, and the purification of a woman after
childbirth. According to the Law of Moses as presented in the
Book of Leviticus, a woman was considered ritually unclean
during her menstrual period and for a prescribed period of time
following the birth of a child. After the birth of a son, a woman
was considered ritually unclean for 40 days. After the birth of a
daughter, a woman was considered unclean for 80 days. In order to
be restored to ritual purity, a Jewish woman performed the
appropriate rites of purification and made the prescribed ritual
offering. Today’s Gospel notes that Jesus was circumcised on the
eighth day after his birth, in accordance with the Mosaic Law. At
that time, he was called Jesus, the name he was given by the angel
Gabriel. On the 40th day after Jesus’ birth, Mary performed the
appropriate purification rites and made her offering at the Temple.
Although the Law of Moses required an offering of a lamb, those
who could not afford a lamb could substitute two turtledoves or
two pigeons. In this scene, Luke identifies Joseph and Mary as
being poor, and indeed throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus will show
special concern for the poor. Another Jewish rite referenced in this
Gospel is the dedication of the firstborn son to the Lord. In
remembrance of the feast of Passover, when the firstborn children
of the Israelites in Egypt were saved from death, the Law of Moses
prescribed that all firstborn males of Israel should be consecrated
to the Lord. In this tradition, Mary and Joseph present the infant
Jesus in the Temple in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, Luke reports that
Mary and Joseph encounter two devout Jews, Simeon and Anna,
who recognize the infant Jesus as the fulfillment of Israel’s hope
for redemption. In Simeon’s words we find a prediction of Mary’s
witnessing of Jesus’ death on the cross. The Canticle of Simeon,
also called by its Latin name, Nunc Dimitis, is prayed at night
prayer, or compline, during the Liturgy of the Hours.
