Bishop Mitrophan (Znosko-Borovsky)
The feast of the Meeting of the Lord tells us about an event that moves our souls—the aged elder Simeon holds in his arms the Divine Infant forty-days-old, and bids farewell to earthly life, raising the immortal hymn to God: Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace…”
Bishop Mitrophan Znosko-Borovsky
In Christ shone forth true life over the world, and this light is inextinguishable and unconquerable, although it is surrounded by an impenetrable, thick darkness; it is stubbornly surrounded from the light by the hidden evil will of the sons of rebellion.
