About this sermon
Are you ready for the most important meeting of your life? Forty days after Christmas, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord reveals a moment of fulfillment—Simeon, after a lifetime of waiting, holds Christ in his arms and proclaims: “Now let me depart in peace.” In this sermon, Fr. Alexander Schmemann shows that this encounter is not just Simeon’s—it is a call to each of us. Are we preparing to meet Christ? Or have we lost the joy of expectation? About Alexander Schmemann: An influential Orthodox theologian and priest, Schmemann was a leading voice in the Orthodox Church in America and dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary. His writings on liturgy reshaped Christian thought, and for 30 years, his sermons reached millions in the USSR via Radio Liberty—including listeners like Alexander Solzhenitsyn. 📖 Source: Воскресные беседы / Протопресвитер А.
