the prophecy of Simeon
(hope/anxiety about the future);
Simeon was a very holy old Jew who was in the Temple when Mary and
Joseph brought the baby Jesus there to be presented to the Lord. Simeon
very quickly believed that Jesus was the Messiah who had been promised
to the Jewish People. Simeon said to Mary:
‘You see this child: he is destined for the fall and for the rising of
many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is rejected - and a sword
will pierce your own soul too - so that the secret thoughts of many
may be laid bare.’ (Luke 2:34-35)

do away with him’.” (Matt 2:13)

loss in the Temple
(making the transition
from childhood to adulthood);
“When they were on their way home (from Jerusalem) after the feast, the
boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. . . . .
. . Three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the
doctors, listening to them and asking questions; and all those who heard
him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. . . His mother said
to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your
father and I have been, looking for you’.” (Luke 2:43, 46-48)
