Today’s Gospel reflection from Bishop Robert Barron, tells us of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple. The Temple, in a sense was literally, the dwelling place of the Lord. “Where Divinity and humanity embraced and was brought back online with God”.
In those days the sins of Israel, according to Ezekiel the prophet, caused the glory of God to depart from the Temple. So then it was their strongest desires “to reestablish the Temple of right praise so that the glory of God might return”. the glory of Yahweh returns to his favorite dwelling as Joseph and Mary enters in with the infant Jesus.
He knew all the old prophesies and Simeon embodied the expectation of the nation. He was “given a revelation that he would not die until he laid eyes on his Savior”.
GOD BLESS YOU!
