2-20-2026 - Fr. Steven Hoffman - Special Presentation - The Love of God and Purification by Church of St. Peter

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Donald Prudlo, the Warren Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Tulsa, discuss the Ante-Purgatory, the foot of Mount Purgatory (Cantos 1-5).Check out our guide on Dante's Purgatorio (out soon!)Visit Dr. Jason Baxter's website and use "Ascend" in the promo code for 20% off his Purgatorio audiobook.Thanks for the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College for their support!The conversation with Dr. Prudlo and Deacon Garlick on Cantos 1–5 of Purgatorio opens with the dramatic shift from the despair of Inferno to the hope and refreshment of Purgatory.In Canto 1, Dante and Virgil emerge from Hell onto the shores of Mount Purgatory at Easter dawn, where Dante humbly invokes Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry, signaling his project as “the Christian epic” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). They meet Cato the Younger, a pagan suicide saved by special grace, who embodies the four cardinal virtues and serves as Purgatory's guardian. Prudlo emphasizes the shock: “Cato the pagan, the suicide is going to heaven. And we have got to confront that or we're going to miss so much of what Dante has to tell us here” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). The ritual of washing with dew and girding with the humble reed contrasts the broken plants of the suicides in Hell and symbolizes the beginning of true humility and ascent.Cantos 2–5 introduce the late-repentant souls and the mountain's structure. In Canto 2, an angelic boat ferries souls singing “In exitu Israel de Aegypto,” a psalm of liberation that Prudlo calls “a multifaceted song” evoking Exodus, baptism, and community (Dr. Donald Prudlo). Casella's song of Dante's own poetry enchants the group until Cato rebukes their idleness.Cantos 3–5 explore excommunicated sinners like Manfred (“even under a curse like mine, no one's ever so lost that eternal love cannot come back, as long as hope has any sprouts of green” – Manfred via transcript) and the slothful Belacqua, who banters with Dante like old friends. Prudlo highlights the power of last-minute mercy and intercession: “Mary is the last refuge of sinners” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). The cantos teach that Purgatory is a place of communal hope, where grace reaches even the unlikely, and purification begins with humility, prayer, and rightly ordered love—setting the stage for the active ascent through the terraces.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dante's Purgatorio04:42 The Importance of Reading Purgatorio08:02 Themes of Emancipation and Freedom10:57 The Role of Cato in Purgatorio13:49 Cato's Significance and Political Implications17:00 Cato as a Precursor to Christ19:51 Dante's Literary Techniques and Inspirations22:56 Contrasting Ulysses and Dante25:36 Cato's Death and Its Symbolism28:52 The Nature of Purgatory and Salvation31:51 Cato's Virtues and Their Relevance34:49 The Relationship Between Cato and Christ37:48 Conclusion and Reflections on Purgatorio50:03 Understanding Cato's Role in Purgatorio52:43 The Heartbreaking Choice of Cato54:39 Rituals and Purification in Purgatory01:00:18 The Arrival at Purgatory01:06:34 The Significance of Water in Salvation01:12:09 Virgil's Role and the Nature of Guidance01:24:57 Manfred: A Case of Late Repentance01:29:38 The Role of Intercessory Prayer in Purgatory01:34:00 Understanding Mount Purgatory and Its Significance01:40:15 The Character of Belacqua and Themes...

Join Micah, Ben Boswell, Terry J. Stokes, and Jules Webb as we explore the concept of purification and reparations in Leviticus 4-6. What does this ancient text on making reparations have to teach us about wealth? What is the Levitical and then Christian perspective on reparations owed to the descendants of enslaved people? How does this passage play into the story of Zacchaeus and illustrate the Bible's opposition to wealth? And how does the depravity of love in the lives of the wealthy illustrate the way God seeks our love?Jules Webb is an artist, author, and creator of many zines, including Feast of my Flesh, Why I am an Anarchist, and Sequential Theology. Rev. Dr. Ben Boswell is the author of Confronting Whiteness and the pastor of Collective Liberation Church.Rev. Terry J. Stokes is an anarchist theologian and the author of Jesus and the Abolitionists: How Anarchist Christianity Empowers the People.You can find the show, more episodes, and other means of listening at thewordinblackandred.com.

Jesus alone brings true purification, and is the bridegroom who loves His bride.

Sunday PM sermon.

The Roman festival of Lupercalia, comprised of sacrificed animals and bloody strips of fertility-imparting sympathetic magic, is often painted as Satanic by contemporary society. But satanic forces are opposed to the natural order and the entire point of Lupercalia was to ensure the natural order of childbirth and bountiful harvests continued. Lupercalia was also not merely one of many Roman cleansing and fertility festivals, but one of many global celebrations of the same sort. Purification of the home, community and body laid the foundation for a fresh start, success and family. Fertility symbols like the goat were used to explicitly impart their qualities to men, women, fields, and business.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

LEVITICUS 12 — LAWFUL UNCLEANNESS, APPOINTED TIME, AND HOLINESS PROTOCOL AFTER BLESSINGPart 1: Uncleanness Without Guilt, Access Without ShameTeachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class covers Leviticus 12 in full, a short chapter with heavy covenant government. Leviticus 12 does not address transgression. It governs lawful uncleanness, appointed time, and holiness protocol after blessing.This chapter establishes a critical distinction Israel must understand: uncleanness is not always moral guilt, yet restriction still governs access near the Presence.Leviticus 12 trains the flock to submit without shame and obey without entitlement. It teaches order after life, boundaries after blessing, and restoration by Torah procedure rather than emotion.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEUncleanness as Status, Not Moral VerdictLeviticus 12:1–2Childbirth produces an unclean status for an appointed time. Torah establishes that blood governs access because life is in the blood. This restriction is protocol, not condemnation.Covenant Obligation Continues Under LimitationLeviticus 12:3Circumcision on the eighth day proves restriction does not cancel covenant identity. Torah obedience continues even when access is temporarily limited.Appointed Time is Legal BoundaryLeviticus 12:4–5Purification is governed by scheduled days, not feeling. Waiting here is legal holiness order, not mysticism. Restoration is never improvised.Distinction Without Ideology or CommentaryLeviticus 12:5Torah legislates distinctions without moral explanation. The command is obeyed as written, without importing speculation, politics, or tradition.Atonement as Purification of StatusLeviticus 12:6–7Atonement in this chapter restores access status. Torah uses cleansing language for holiness protocol, not only for transgression.Mercy Provides Access to ObedienceLeviticus 12:8Provision for the poor shows Yahuah does not cancel the law. He provides lawful means for all Israel to obey.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSUncleanness is not always sinRestriction is not rejectionBlood governs access because life is sacredWaiting is legal obedienceRestoration follows Torah orderPurification is not repentanceMercy supports obedience without lowering the standardLeviticus 12 teaches that holiness protocol applies even after blessing. Near the Presence, access is governed by Yahuah's appointed order.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 12Leviticus 15Leviticus 16Leviticus 17Genesis 17Numbers 19Exodus 19Deuteronomy 18Deuteronomy 32Habakkuk 21 Samuel 1Ezekiel 45Hebrews 9Luke 2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only. No CashApp. No PayPal.FINAL WORDLeviticus 12 governs lawful life near holiness.It separates status from guilt.Restriction from rejection.Order from emotion.Holiness is not negotiated. Access is governed.Final Heart Check:Will you honor Torah boundaries without accusation, and submit to appointed order without negotiating access?

This “OCIA: The Bridge to Rome episode,” explains the Lenten practices of scrutinies and dismissals for those preparing for Catholic initiation. Drawing from the OCIA ritual and early Church tradition, he explores how dismissals restore ancient discipline for reflecting on God's Word, and scrutinies (with their minor exorcism prayers) offer healing deliverance from sin's influence for the unbaptized elect, tied to transformative Gospels. Reassuring and reflective, this monologue addresses common misconceptions while highlighting communal grace in the Period of Purification and Enlightenment. Ideal for OCIA participants, investigators, or anyone rediscovering how these rites unite believers across twenty centuries, twenty-four timezones, and two hemispheres in one Church.

The sermon you are about to hear was preached by Don Davide Pagliarani on the feast of the Purification, February 2, 2026, a feast that reveals Christ as the Light of the nations and Our Lady as inseparably united to His work of redemption. From Simeon's prophecy to the sword that pierces the Heart of Mary, this sermon moves steadily toward the central truth that Redemption is never abstract, never painless, and never indifferent to the human heart. With clarity and urgency, he explains the role of Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, and the responsibility placed upon every Christian to choose Christ without compromise. This next section marks a decisive and solemn moment in the sermon, where Fr. Pagliarani turns from doctrine to responsibility. He speaks openly about the future of the Society of Saint Pius X, the care of souls, and the grave question of episcopal consecrations, not as an act of defiance, but as a matter of conscience before God. What follows is a candid appeal grounded in one principle above all others: that in the Church, the supreme law is, and must always remain, the salvation of souls. – – – – – – View this episode on YouTube: – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

Mother Miriam Live - February 2nd, 2026 Mother speaks about Candlemas, the Purification of Our Blessed Lady, and the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple. Mother answers messages about why Holy Communion is presented in both species, discouragement when debating Christians who support the sin of abortion, distraction during Mass, a bishop's comparisons of America to Nazi Germany, and whether it is ok to shop or watch live sports on a Sunday.

Recorded February 2, in this episode Joe reflects on the day's special occasion. Yes, that one. Which is to say both. Or, all three.

When the ever-virgin Mary's forty days of purification were passed, according to the Law of Moses she took her son Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, to dedicate him to God as her first-born son. At the temple the Lord's parents offered the sacrifice of a pair of doves (Luke 2:22-23), from which we learn that they were poor, since those who were able were required to offer a lamb. At the Temple, the Lord was met by Zacharias, father of St John the Baptist, and by the aged, righteous Symeon, who had awaited the salvation of God for many years. (Sts Symeon and Anna are commemorated tomorrow.) We are told that some Pharisees, seeing the child Jesus recognized as the Messiah of Israel, were enraged, and went to tell King Herod. Realizing that this must be the child of whom he had been warned, Herod immediately sent soldiers to kill Him. But the righteous Joseph, warned in dream, fled with the child and his wife, the most holy Theotokos, into Egypt, and they were preserved.   The Feast of the Meeting of the Lord was observed in Jerusalem at least from the fourth century. Its observance was brought to Constantinople by the Emperor Justinian in 542. In the West it is called the Feast of the Purification of the Mother of God, or Candlemas Day.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, February 2, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord.This celebration, which takes place forty days after the birth of Jesus, is also known as Candlemas Day, since the blessing and procession of candles are included in the Mass.Christ is the light of the nations, hence the blessing and procession of candles on this day.Jesus' presentation signifies God's entrance to His temple. Soon after the Baptists' birth, God made man enter His temple, presenting Himself to those who were truly seeking Him.Attached to “Candlemas Day”, we also celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life, founded by Pope St. John Paul II in 1997. That's because the consecrated men and women are to be the light in the world, imitating Jesus, the Light of the World.On this day, the Church expresses its gratitude to all in the community who dedicate themselves in a special way to prayer, and to those with a particular religious vocation to the contemplative life.In the figures of Simeon and Anna, Jesus' presentation in the temple reminds us that prayer and contemplation are well-spent time. Only those who pray and offer penance, like Simeon and Anna, are open to the breath of the Spirit.This feast of the Presentation has a strong Marian dimension:On one hand, Simeon's prophecy emphasizes Mary's sufferings. Pope John Paul II taught that, “Simeon's words seem like a second Annunciation to Mary.”In the previous Liturgical Calendar, it was called the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. indicating the renewal of her total offering to God for the accomplishment of His Divine Plan.On February 2nd, a secular tradition unfolds: Groundhog Day, well known to schoolchildren and adults alike. The fate of Spring hangs in the balance as a burrowing animal looks for its shadow.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The Feast of the Purification, otherwise known as Candlemas, represents the end of the Christmas liturgical cycle. It is also a feast directed toward Our Lord and Simeon's great longing for the day of His Incarnation. Simeon represents the expectation of the nations, awaiting the day when God would come to dispel darkness from the world.

22 And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:Et postquam impleti sunt dies purgationis ejus secundum legem Moysi, tulerunt illum in Jerusalem, ut sisterent eum Domino, 23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:sicut scriptum est in lege Domini : Quia omne masculinum adaperiens vulvam, sanctum Domino vocabitur : 24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:et ut darent hostiam secundum quod dictum est in lege Domini, par turturum, aut duos pullos columbarum. 25 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.Et ecce homo erat in Jerusalem, cui nomen Simeon, et homo iste justus, et timoratus, exspectans consolationem Israel : et Spiritus Sanctus erat in eo. 26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.Et responsum acceperat a Spiritu Sancto, non visurum se mortem, nisi prius videret Christum Domini. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,Et venit in spiritu in templum. Et cum inducerent puerum Jesum parentes ejus, ut facerent secundum consuetudinem legis pro eo, 28 He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:et ipse accepit eum in ulnas suas : et benedixit Deum, et dixit : 29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace : 30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum : 32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.The Feast of Candlemas, which derives it's origin from the local observance of Jerusalem, marks the end of the Feasts included in the Christmas cycle of the Liturgy. It is perhaps the most ancient festival of Our Lady. It commemorates not only the obedience of the Blessed Virgin to the Mosaic Lay in going to Jerusalem forty days after the birth of her child and making the accustomed offerings, but also the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple, and the meeting of the infant Jesus with the old man Simeon--the Occursus Domini, as the Feast was anciently termed. This is the pricipal them of the liturgy on this day: Jesus is taken to the Temple "to present Him to the Lord." So the Lord comes to His Temple, and is met by the aged Simeon with joy and recognition. The procession on this day is one of the most picturesque features of the Western Liturgy. The blessing and distribution of candles, to be carried lighted in procession, precedes the Mass today--a symbolic presentation of the truth proclaimed in the Canticle of Simeon; Our Lord is the "Light for the revelation of the Gentiles." The anthems sung during the procession, eastern in origin, will express the joy and gladness of this happy festival, and the honor and praise we give to Our Blessed Lady and her Divine Son by its devout observance.

According to the Gospel of Luke, the Holy Spirit has made the prophet Simeon—a righteous and devout man—a promise that he won't die until he has seen the Messiah. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee69.

An 84-year-old woman who was a pious fixture in Jerusalem, never left the temple, worshiping there day and night, fasting and praying.

February 2, 2026Today's Reading: Luke 2:22-32 (33-40)Daily Lectionary: Zechariah 12:1-13:9; Titus 1:1-2:6“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word” (Luke 2:29)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Jesus' earthly parents were devout, church-going people. Because they cared about God and His commands, they brought Jesus to the Temple to offer the sacrifice commanded in Leviticus 12:1-8. It seems that Joseph and Mary were not well off; Leviticus 12:8 says that two turtledoves or pigeons could be offered by those who cannot afford to offer a lamb. But this historical fact is not merely due to financial circumstances. Jesus does not need a lamb given for Him because He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!That is to say, Jesus Himself will be the great and final sacrifice to take away sin, undo the rule of the Devil, and overthrow death. None of this is by accident. God first promised this shortly after Adam and Eve sinned and were given the pronouncement of the curse. A Son of woman will come to crush the serpent, God said in Genesis 3:15. And this Son would do so by being struck by the powers of evil and their king, Satan. But they would not overcome Him.And this was not a secret. Even though it seems like many people at the time missed this, the main purpose of Jesus' ministry on earth, there were still those who heard this often-repeated promise in the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament: God will send a Man to save His people from sin and death.This is why Simeon, when he recognized Jesus by the Holy Spirit, sang out that He is now able to depart in peace. The salvation, the long-hoped-for restoration and redemption of Israel, was now there in his arms in the Person of Jesus. And this Baby was no mere religious teacher or prophet; He is God in the flesh. In Christ, God Himself has come to us to save us by His death. For this reason, each of us Christians may depart in peace, the very peace of Christ. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty and ever-living God, as Your only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple in the substance of our flesh, grant that we may be presented to You with pure and clean hearts; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. Rev. Christopher Brademeyer, St. John's Lutheran Church in Oakes, NDAudio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Better understand difficult and overlooked Old Testament passages in this new book by Authors R. Reed Lessing and Andrew E. Steinmann. Their conversational yet academic writing style makes learning about the Old Testament accessible to those at all points in their Bible reading journey. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter invite you to think more in-depth about what you just read and record your answers. To stretch your understanding, a list of resources for further reading is also included at the back of the book.

Mark, Joseph, and baby Jesus appear to be just another poor Jewish family in the temple, giving the sacrifice for the dedication of the firstborn. Simeon, with the eyes of faith, sees in this six-week-old Jesus the coming King, and the suffering that He and His mother will face.

Not long after the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary adhered to three Jewish ceremonies: Circumcision, performed on the eighth day, for all male children; Purification from childbirth for Mary, 40 days after her son's birth; and Consecration of the firstborn in the Temple, in recognition that the firstborn son belongs to the Lord. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, celebrated on February 2nd, marks 40 days after Christmas, commemorating when Mary and Joseph presented the baby Jesus at the Jerusalem Temple, fulfilling Jewish Mosaic Law for consecration of firstborn sons and the mother's purification, and featuring the aged Anna and the prophet Simeon recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and Light of the World, based on the Gospel of Luke 2:22-40. Also called Candlemas or Hypapante (Eastern Orthodoxy) or The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this feast day involves blessing candles symbolizing Christ as light. Ee68.

The sermon you are about to hear was preached by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on the feast of the Purification, a day when the Church contemplates Christ as the Light revealed to the nations and received in faith by Simeon. Speaking to seminarians receiving clerical investiture and Minor Orders, Archbishop Lefebvre uses this liturgical moment to reflect on separation from the world, the dignity of the soul, and the light of eternal truth given by Our Lord Jesus Christ. His words are not limited to those preparing for the priesthood. They speak to every Christian called to live in the light of Christ rather than the blindness of the world. With clarity and fatherly gravity, he presents the cassock, the minor orders, and the discipline of the seminary as signs of an interior calling: to belong wholly to God, to know Christ above all else, and to become a light for others. Rooted in Scripture, the Church's prayers, and devotion to Our Lady, this sermon reminds us that only those who receive the light of Christ can truly give it to the world.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This episode reveals how God uses the fire of His Spirit to purify and perfect His sons. Through trials, sufferings, and divine fire, believers are transformed into His likeness. The conversation unfolds the purpose behind life's fiery experiences—showing that they are not punishment, but God's refining process. The speakers emphasize that holiness, sanctification, and spiritual maturity come only through the fire of God's presence. As the chaff is burned away, what remains is purity, gold, and the image of Christ manifesting through His people. Show Notes The Purpose of Fire: Every suffering and trial is God's design to complete His work in His sons.Chaff and the Old Nature: The “chaff” represents the Adamic nature being burned away through God's refining fire.Submitting to the Process: Transformation is not achieved through human effort, but by surrender to the fire of God.God as a Consuming Fire: To walk with Him means to partake of His purifying nature (Hebrews 12:29).The Fire of Pentecost: The tongues of fire in Acts were the fulfillment of John's prophecy—baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire.Rejoicing in the Fire: Trials are not strange occurrences but evidence of being chosen and sanctified.Faith Tested in the Furnace: Like the three Hebrew children, believers are not destroyed by the fire but transformed in it.Sanctification Through Fire: God uses the fire to purify His people, making them ready to dwell in His holy presence.Obedience and Judgment: Once obedience is complete, the purified sons of God will release His righteous judgment and cleansing on the earth.Transformation and Victory: Through the fire, believers move from victimhood to conquerors, walking in divine authority.End Result: The fire burns only the wood, hay, and stubble—leaving behind refined gold and silver that glorify God.

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE. Can we ask some hard questions? Commonplace, dispensational Christianity hits some major hurdles when one slowly and contextually reads the accounts of the post-resurrection Assembly. Here we see Paul instructed by the elders of the Assembly to join alongside others in a Nazarite vow, which the Book of Numbers tells us included purification rituals and... animal sacrifices. And why was he to do this? To expose the *false accusations* that he was teaching people to "forsake Moses." What are we to make of this? Is this merely Paul "being all things to all men" or is it something much deeper that most have missed? Let's find out!

The washbasin, the kiyor, was a feature of the Mishkan.What purpose did it serve? How does Halakha reflect its use even today?Our chapter informs us that the kiyor was constructed from donations of women's mirrors. To what might this detail be alluding?
