Our Eyes Have Seen Your Salvation, December 30 Worship
After waiting and waiting Simeon and Anna were blessed beyond measure. There in the great temple their old eyes beheld the salvation of God, the baby Jesus brought right to them. Seeing Jesus inspired in them an outpouring of thanks and praise to God. One day we will see Jesus face to face, but for now we meet Him in different ways. Today He is present in Holy Communion. Here is your salvation. We are in the presence of the sacred mystery: God with us, Emmanuel. God bless you with joy, thanks and peace which passes all understanding.
