In today's Gospel reading from Luke 2, we heard read the encounter of the Holy Family with the prophetess Anna at the temple where the presentation of the child Jesus took place. Now, there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous and devout, and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah. Earlier, he came in the Spirit into the temple; when he saw the Holy Family, he took the child into his arms and blessed God, saying: "Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation ...." Now, many of us have already known the Savior, even attained union with him thru the Holy Eucharist—are we ready to go in peace yet?
