Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

529
The presentation of Jesus in the temple shows him to be the firstborn Son who
belongs to the Lord.²¹⁶ With Simeon and Anna, all Israel awaits its
encounter with the Saviour – the name given to this event in the Byzantine
tradition. Jesus is recognized as the long-expected Messiah, the “light to
the nations” and the “glory of Israel”, but also “a sign
that is spoken against”. the sword of sorrow predicted for Mary announces
Christ’s perfect and unique oblation on the cross that will impart the
salvation God had “prepared in the presence of all peoples”.
