Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
From the Pastors Desk
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
While most people are aware that Tuesday is Groundhogs Day, fewer are aware that the same day we observe the feast day of the
Presentation of the Lord, with the liturgical celebration of Candlemas. Traditionally, candles used by the churches throughout the year
are blessed at this Mass, although this is no longer the case as candles are ordered as needed. The candles used for the blessing of
throats on St. Blaise day, which is the following day, are blessed at Candlemas, which provides a nice transition for their use in this
traditional practice. This year, because of the pandemic protocols put in place by the diocese, the blessing of the throats will not take
place as normal, as the candles are not to touch individuals’ necks. We will, however, celebrate the modified blessing given by the
Church.
There is something wonderful about the use of real candles in our liturgical celebrations, even in the practice of lighting votive candles.
In our tradition, candles used for the altar, the Paschal Candle, and others, have been made of beeswax, a beautiful representation of the
natural world being used to provide light in church buildings that may not have allowed natural light in due to their structures. Most of
us have some passing knowledge of Bees; we know that they produce honey, and obviously from the previous sentence, we all know
they also produce wax. Through St. Ambrose, we receive the Beehive as a symbol of the Christian community, exercising piety and
unity, with all its members working towards a common good. Watching nature shows on the activity and organization of beehives has
always left a great impression on me, and used as an example of what a parish community can be, it inspires us to strive for greater
achievements for the whole.
Candles themselves have the one obvious function, and that is to give off light. Our celebration of the Easter Vigil begins with the
church in darkness, and the Easter fire lit, to illuminate the world which finds itself in darkness, gives its light to the Easter (Paschal)
Candle, also known as the Christ Candle. Of course, we all recognize the connection of Christ’s light being given to the world, it is
something that we hear in Christmas liturgies, Easter celebrations and many other instances. Light dispelling darkness is a great theme
in Christianity, and something that has its roots in our primal nature; when we are afraid, we turn on lights, and there is something in-
viting about sitting around a campfire, when the world around us is shrouded in night.
While we have other sources of light, such as the Easter fire, and torches, such as the one symbolizing St. Dominic, or even our modern
electric lights, the symbolism of the humble candle extends beyond that of illuminating our surroundings. Like a modern lightbulb or
LED, a candle gives off a steady stream of light, but in comparison, the flame of a candle seems to have its own life about it, a person-
ality that cannot be imitated by electric current. While a fire provides the light and the warmth we seek, as does a torch, it can also be
overpowering, and tends to burn out quickly, demanding more fuel to continue its mission. A candle, however, delivers a steady glow,
dispelling the darkness, inviting others to sit in its light, not demanding fuel to continue its task, but offering itself. As the candle gives
off light, what was its own is burned off, transformed into what is needed by others, until eventually it ceases to be, and what is, is
light.
While we all can take the opportunity on Tuesday, to await the groundhog, hoping for a lack of sunlight to bring a quicker end to this
winter, we can also take the opportunity to contemplate the light given by simple candles. Made from the industry of bees in an hive,
symbolizing the ideal for Christians in a Christian community, giving of itself, so that the light of Christ can come to others. Happy
Candlemas.
