Candlemas: The Feast of Light and Hope, by Jennifer Gregory Miller

By Jennifer Gregory Miller, Catholic Culture - On February 2, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, forty days after Christmas. In the 1962 calendar the feast is called the “Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary” and commonly referred to as Candlemas. When this feast falls on a Sunday the General Norms of the Liturgical Year and Calendar specifies that Feasts of Our Lord that fall in the General Roman Calendar take precedence over the Sundays in Ordinary Time, so this feast would be celebrated instead of the Sunday in Ordinary Time.

A Nation That Won’t Enforce Immigration Laws Isn’t A Nation At All, by Adam Johnston

By Adam Johnston, The Federalist - The unrest surrounding immigration enforcement in Minnesota is a flashpoint for a much deeper struggle over U.S. sovereignty... A sovereign nation, by definition, must be able to enforce its laws within its own territory... When federal immigration law is openly resisted, and elected leaders excuse, rationalize, fail to deter, or even encourage violence against those tasked with exercising constitutional authority, both the federal government and the nation lose their fundamental legitimacy.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: AI-Assisted Suicide for Couples: The Disturbing Rise of the Sarco Pod

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - Advocates for euthanasia and assisted suicide see “dying with dignity” as “liberation,” believing that a life with pain and suffering lacks meaning. By contrast, Catholic tradition values both the dignity of the human person and the gift of life through the lens of Christ’s redemptive love. The Church knows that suffering is an inescapable aspect of life and that this suffering ultimately unites us to God... The more our society opens the door to and positively incentivizes assisted suicide, the less free individuals (and now, couples) will be to embrace the trials of the end of life, free of the psychological, moral, and medical pressure to take the “quick and easy” way out.
