Note: I will be away till Tuesday and won't have internet access...No slices till Tuesday morning...Happy New Year!!!
Today we read about the presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the remarkable reception by Simeon, the old man who had been awaiting the coming of the Messiah, blessed him and prophesied to Mary about the impending swords of sorrow.
The blessing of Simeon is recited every evening at the end of Complin, the Church's Night Prayer...It's one we might all say and might be one with which to end 2017.
Lord, now let your servant go in peace;
your word has been fulfilled,/
my own eyes have seen the salvation /
which you prepared in the sight of every people,
a light to reveal you to the nations/
and the glory of your people Israel. (Lk 2:29-32)
