"Now there was a man in Jerusalem called
Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the
consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been
revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he
had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the
temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do
for Him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took Him in his
arms and praised God, saying: 'Sovereign Lord, as You have
promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace. For my eyes have
seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the sight of all
people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to
Your people Israel.' The child's father and mother marveled at what
was said about Him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His
mother: 'This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of
many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so
that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will
pierce your own soul too'" (Luke 2:25-35).
