Behold This Child Is Set for the Fall and Rise of Many – a powerful homily reflecting on the prophecy of Simeon during the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple.

In this sermon, we hear the Old Testament prophecy from the book of Haggai fulfilled as the glory of the Second Temple surpasses that of Solomon’s Temple—because God Himself enters it in the flesh. Simeon, inspired by the Holy Spirit, reveals three great truths:

The fall and resurrection of many depending on their response to Christ.

The sign that will be contradicted—the Cross of Christ.

The sword of sorrow piercing Our Lady’s soul, as she participates in her Son’s suffering more deeply than any other creature.

This reflection draws on the wisdom of the Fathers of the Church, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and St. Bernardine of Siena, who teach us that Mary’s sorrow was so great it merited her title as Queen of Martyrs. Unlike other martyrs who gave their own lives, Mary sacrificed the life of her beloved Son.

The homily encourages us to meditate on the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady:

The Prophecy of Simeon

The Flight into Egypt

The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple

Meeting Jesus on the Way to Calvary

The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus

The Piercing of Our Lord’s Side

The Burial of Jesus

By uniting our hearts to Our Lady’s sorrow, especially during times of trial, we grow in love for her and for her Divine Son, Jesus Christ, who came into the world to redeem fallen man through His preaching, suffering, and death on the Cross.

🙏 May this meditation increase our devotion to Mary, deepen our appreciation of Christ’s sacrifice, and inspire us to walk with them faithfully.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
