Today is the feast day of the presentation of Jesus in the temple. To celebrate the day, we're playing a game at school. I told everyone that The Chosen One was on campus today, and if you asked someone "are you the chosen one?" and got it right, then the chosen one would bring you to my office and you would get a prize.
I've always wondered: how did Simeon know? Does greatness like that show on the face? Was it a gut reaction? Did he hear angel song? Did he get tired of looking, or did he spend long years in a constant state of anticipation?
And, when the messiah turned out to be a baby, was he surprised?
Almighty and everliving God, we humbly pray that, as your only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
