Feast of The Presentation of the Lord

 

 

 

... according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

 

There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

 

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

 

And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in Jesus, he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,

 

"Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel."

 

Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,

 

"Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."

 

(loosely from the Gospel of Lk. 2: 22-40)

 

I pray that this text finds you asking Him to calm your storms.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of being like Simeon.

 

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany from last Monday (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

 

Simplicity, Humility, and Praise  🙏 ✌️
