THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS

Mary and Joseph, in joy and grace, 
Took their child to the holy place. 
To Jerusalem’s temple, pure and bright, 
Where Simeon saw the world’s new light. 

He held the child, and in his eye, 
A revelation to the Gentiles did lie. 
Anna too, with her watchful soul, 
Found fulfillment, her heart made whole. 

Their patience bore a lifetime’s yield, 
In this moment, a truth revealed. 
Their waiting ended in joy profound, 
For God’s promise at last was found. 

Patience calls us to see with care, 
To be merciful, to love and share. 
In our hearts, the Spirit waits, 
Teaching a love that radiates. 

In life and in our world today, 
Do we judge, or pause and pray? 
Patience offers grace and peace, 
Through watchful hearts, all sarcasms  cease.

In life and in our world today, do YOU judge, or pause and pray?

THE CLOSER YOU GET TO JESUS, THE SMALLER EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARS!!
