From the Gospel according to Luke 2:22-40

When the days were completed for their purificatio naccording to the law of Moses,Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,just as it is written in the law of the Lord,Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,and to offer the sacrifice ofa pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons,in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.
Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.This man was righteous and devout,awaiting the consolation of Israel,and the Holy Spirit was upon him.It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.He came in the Spirit into the temple;and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:
“Now, Master, you may let your servant goin peace, according to your word,for my eyes have seen your salvation,which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples:a light for revelation to the Gentiles,and glory for your people Israel.”
The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,“Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel,and to be a sign that will be contradicted-and you yourself a sword will pierce-so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”There was also a prophetess, Anna,the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.She was advanced in years,having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage,and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.She never left the temple,but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.And coming forward at that very time,she gave thanks to God and spoke about the childt to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.
When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord,they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom;and the favor of God was upon him.

Never Alone

It is evident who orchestrated this moment: the Holy Spirit. Jesus never acted by Himself; He was always accompanied by the Father and the Holy Spirit. Here, we see how both Simeon and Anna are guided by the Spirit. The Gospel explicitly states it, but even if it didn’t, who else could have revealed to them that this Child was the Savior?
Jesus was never alone.

Applied to Married Life:

Alice: James, I rely on you more than you realize.
James: And I rely on you too, Alice. I used to be more independent, but now I understand how much I depend on God first and then on you. Each day, it becomes clearer why God brought us together.
Alice: God made us with limitations so we would recognize how much we need Him and each other.
James: It’s surprising that some people haven’t realized this yet. They will have to go through a lot of hardship before they do.
Alice: Let’s pray for them.

Mother,

If even the Lord, being God, chose not to be alone, how much more do we, who are so small, need companionship? Blessed be the Lord, who is always with us.
