Prophet Series Episode 12 Simeon

Prophet Series Episode 12 Simeon

Welcome back to The Prophet Series!Over the past eleven episodes, we’ve journeyed through the voices of prophetswho boldly proclaimed God’s truth and pointed toward the coming of the Messiah.

Today, in our final episode of Season6, we reflect on a man who never wrote a book of prophecy, never stood beforekings, and never led a nation—yet his moment of prophetic fulfillment is one ofthe most beautiful scenes in the Gospels.

We meet Simeon—the aged, devout manwho waited his whole life to witness God’s promise with his own eyes. In hisstory, we discover the profound gift of hope, patient faith, and what it meansto recognize salvation even when it comes quietly.

Let’s open our hearts to the story ofSimeon, the Watcher of the Promise.

We’re introduced to Simeon in theGospel of Luke, chapter 2. We don’t know his lineage, we don’t know hisoccupation—but we do know this:

Simeon was righteous and devout,waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. – Luke2:25

Simeon had received a personalrevelation from the Holy Spirit:

“You will not see death before youhave seen the Lord’s Messiah.”

That promise shaped the rhythm of hislife. He lived in holy anticipation—every day entering the temple courts,perhaps wondering, “Is today the day I’ll see Him?”

Then, one ordinary day, a poor couplewalks in. They carry a newborn child, just over a month old. The Holy Spiritmoves in Simeon’s heart, and he knows—this child is the fulfillment of thepromise.

He takes Jesus in his arms and praisesGod with one of the most profound declarations in all of Scripture:

“Now, Lord, You may dismiss Yourservant in peace, for my eyes have seen Your salvation.”


Simeon’s story is one of deep trust—ofwaiting in faith and rejoicing in God’s perfect timing.

Simeon’s story unfolds in one shortscene, yet it contains rich theological and prophetic meaning. Let’s walkthrough it:

He is described as righteous, devout,and filled with the Holy Spirit. His life teaches us the value of quiet,faithful devotion.

Simeon receives a specific promisefrom God—and holds onto it, year after year. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon entersthe temple at the exact moment Jesus is brought in. He takes the child into hisarms and recognizes the Savior.

This prayer has become a treasuredpart of the Church’s evening prayer—his personal praise has become the Church’sliturgy.

Simeon blesses the child, but alsospeaks a sobering word to Mary: “A sword will pierce your soul too.” He seesboth the glory and the suffering that Christ will bring.

Simeon doesn’t just hold theMessiah—he proclaims Him with joy and clarity, recognizing God’s salvation notjust for Israel, but for the entire world.

Let’s reflect on Simeon’s beautifulproclamation from Luke 2:29–32:

“Now, Master, you maylet your servant go in peace,

according to your word,

for my eyes have seenyour salvation,

which you prepared insight of all the peoples,

a light for revelationto the Gentiles,

and glory for yourpeople Israel.”

Episode 08 Healing of Ten Lepers

Episode 08 Healing of Ten Lepers

Welcome back to '2 Minutes with the Lord.' I'm your host, Fr. Veigas Dominic SVD, and today, we're stepping into the world of one of Jesus' most profound miracles—the healing of the ten lepers. But we won't look at this as just another story about healing. This story is about what it means to be restored—not just physically, but in terms of belonging, identity, and community. It's a story about how we treat those on the margins and how radical inclusion can bring true transformation."   Imagine you're walking through a city, and as you pass by an alleyway, you notice a group of people huddled together. They're homeless. Forgotten by society, living on the fringes, unseen by the thousands of people passing them by daily. Some are struggling with addiction, some with mental illness. Each of them has their own story, but they all share one thing in common: isolation. In this busy, bustling world, they've become invisible."
