Simeon

Morning: Psalm 145; Isaiah 12:1-6; Hebrews 1:1-12

Evening: Psalms 146, 147; Luke 2:22-40

My older son is called Simeon, after the Simeon in Luke’s Gospel, who believed he would not die before he saw the Messiah. The Messiah (for me, that is Jesus) is the sign that Love rules in the Cosmos. I hope that my son might, during his life, catch even a glimpse of the wonder of the Love that is shown in Jesus. I hope that, like the Simeon of Luke’s Gospel, he might know Peace. I am not sure he would say he has found Peace. Yet it is still my prayer for him ... for all of us.
