About this sermon
Today we celebrate Saint Simeon of Jerusalem, the second Bishop of Jerusalem, brother of Saint James the Just, and cousin of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Many Catholics confuse him with Simeon in the Temple who gave the Canticle of Simeon — but this is a different Simeon entirely. This Saint Simeon was the son of Cleophas, nephew of Saint Joseph, and therefore part of the Holy Family. In this episode we cover: His relationship to Christ His father Cleophas on the Road to Emmaus His role at Pentecost The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD The end of the Old Covenant His defense of the Church against Judaizers His martyrdom under Emperor Trajan at 120 years old Saint Simeon lived through the fall of Jerusalem and helped preserve the integrity of the Catholic Faith during one of the most catastrophic events in Jewish history. We also reflect on Christ’s warning about wars, destruction, and detachment — and what it means for Catholics today. When the world shakes, we do not stockpile possessions. We stockpile faith, discipline, courage, and sacrifice. Saint Simeon, pray for us. 0:00 Introduction 0:20 Who Is Saint Simeon?
