The Loop
We consider today the witness of God's faithful servants Simeon and Anna. As they beheld Jesus
in the temple, they were overcome with joy and proclaimed the good news of God's redemption
and salvation. Jesus came into our world as light and peace. As you listen and sing of God's
salvation this day, may you be filled with the joy and peace that filled Simeon and Anna.
