If you happened to look at a calendar for liturgical year, you would see that today, February 2, 2025, is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Dr. Kreeft’s book for Cycle C, which we are in this year, does not have a reading or commentary for the Feast of the Presentation! It does, however, have readings and commentary for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, so that is what we will hear today. The commentary is a bit shorter than many weeks, and since you won’t hear these readings at Mass, I won’t be offended if you skip listening to this week’s podcast. HOWEVER, one of the readings is the section from 1 Corinthians about love, and I think you’ll find the commentary interesting. So I hope you spend a few minutes with these readings, even if they aren’t the ones for Mass this week!
