SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #38
And the Holy Ghost was in him. And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost . . .
And there was one Anna, a prophetess . . . And she was a widow until fourscore and four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day. Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
(Luke 2:25-26; 36-38)
FAITH IS A GIFT OF GOD: It was only by the help of the Holy Ghost that Simeon and Anna were enabled to recognize in the Child Jesus the Divine Savior of the whole world, of Gentiles as well as Jews.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
