Das Licht, das uns begegnet<\/h2>\n\n

Am 2. Februar feiert die Kirche Mari\u00e4 Lichtmess, auch bekannt als das Fest der Darstellung des Herrn. Denn vierzig Tage nach Weihnachten bringt Maria das Kind Jesus in den Tempel von Jerusalem. Dort erkennen Simeon und Hanna in ihm das verhei\u00dfene Heil \u2013 ein Licht, das alle Dunkelheit durchbricht.<\/p>\n\n

Das Licht steht also im Mittelpunkt dieses Tages. Die Kerzen, die traditionell gesegnet werden, erinnern uns somit daran: Christus ist das Licht der Welt. Er bringt zudem Hoffnung, Orientierung und W\u00e4rme in unser Leben, gerade dort, wo es dunkel oder ungewiss erscheint. Mari\u00e4 Lichtmess l\u00e4dt uns ein, dieses Licht nicht nur zu betrachten, sondern es weiterzutragen \u2013 in unseren Worten, in unseren Taten und im Umgang miteinander.<\/p>\n\n

At the same time, this festival marks a transition: Christmas comes to an end and we look to the future. It is a moment of pause and renewal. Where do I need light? Where can I be a light for others? We can celebrate Candlemas with these questions - quietly, gratefully and full of trust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
