The Presentation of the Lord

"And you yourself a sword will pierce." Luke 2:35

Simeon's Prophecy
by Sr. St. Francis, S.S.J.

How still she stood that day,
As one apart,
Hearing the jagged words
That tore her heart.
But when the Child was still,
And Joseph slept,
She turned her face away,
And wept, and wept.
