St Brides Fleet Street 3rd February 2008

Good to be back at St Brides:

Weekend - Feast of the Presentation
40 days after the birth of Jesus he is presented in the Temple
The Nunc Dimmitis is said for the first time.

Simeon - represents the righteous and the devout - who have been waiting.

His Song: could be a song for the Guild of St Bride: because it is a song for all Christians
we can go in peace
we can see the salvation
Jesus is for everyone
The glory of God lies ahead

Tradition from 4th C was to carry candles - the light of Christ has come into the world: he is presented to us in a dark world.

Candle is only a symbol
The true light lies within us.
