I Too Am One Among The Cyreinians Who Received Grace To Carry The Cross…

 

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. Luke 2:25-29

What a blessed man!! Simeon, who received the grace to see with his own eyes, the salvation which was prepared for all nations.

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. Matthew 16:15-17

Now there is Simon Peter who as called by Christ Jesus as “Blessed”!

A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. Mark 15:21

Simon from Cyrene who received grace to carry the cross!

Whatever be the circumstances, the one who encounters Christ Jesus is indeed blessed.

You who is reading this article may be in the Temple of God like Simeon, or in (Caesarea) a public place like Simon Peter. Or like Simon the Cyrenian on a road. Heaven will look at you and speak out loudly “You are indeed blessed: Truly a blessed person.”

I who was outside the camp so desirous
