In church today, we reflected upon the time when Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. It was then that Simeon told Mary that a sword would pierce through her own soul also.
This could be seen as the second annunciation. In the first, Mary was presented wtih her calling as the mother of our Saviour. In the second, Mary was presented with her painful future as she walked the path of suffering alongside of her Son. In everything, she continued to say "yes" to God. May we be the same way.
TV~ (Today's Verse)
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled."
[Luke 1:38]
