Nunc Dimmitis
Significant moment in Luke 2.22ff
Presentation
Purification
to Jerusalem ch 2
like 1 Sam 1
fulfills the law of Moses (Ex 13.1 and 13.11)
Mother is purified
Simeon
not much known about him
"upright and devout"
Holy Spirit is upon him
"Waiting for the consolation of Israel"
Brief
Personal Prayer
Rooted in the Theology of Isaiah
- the world of darkness pieced by the light of Christ
our eyes have seen
a light to the nations
a light to glory
Christ is presented to us
We now get out to present Christ to the world
