Br. Matthew Paul Grote, O.P., preaches on Malachi 3: 1-4 for the Feast of the Presentation.  

Br. Matthew Paul challenges us to ask, "Who can truly stand in the presence of God?" He gives us a challenging message; on our own, no one of us can. But he also shares good news; Jesus IS able to stand in the presence of God, and invites us to share in His life, so that we may stand as well. Will we accept the gifts Jesus offers us to stand in His Body?  

"But who will endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears?"
