READING
When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord鈥ow there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord鈥檚 Messiah.
The child鈥檚 father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, 鈥淭his child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed 鈥� and a sword will pierce your own soul too.鈥�
There was also a prophet Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.聽聽聽聽聽Broadcast
