Luke 2: 33-35

33 And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34 Then Simeon[a] blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35 so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

 

This is the Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, O Christ.
