The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

(III Class)
As soon as she could walk, Mary was brought to the Temple by her holy parents, Joachim and Anne. With what an ecstasy of delight she must have entered into the Temple, crying out: "How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts; my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord." (Psalm 83:1,2) Have I any of the same desire to consecrate my life to the Lord?

Today was bar none the nastiest weather we've seen this semester. You may or may not have noticed that we haven't complained much about the weather since our first few weeks here when it was raining non-stop. It really has been quite pleasant on the whole since then, really quite beautiful actually. Today though, it was raining hard when it should have been snowing. I mean half a degree colder and it would have been snow. Miserable. Now, however, it has finally turned to snow, and it's coming down pretty hard. We'll see if it amounts to anything in the morning, but it looks like it has a chance.
