Who then may see even from this in the one Simeon many, and by one may see all the elect signified, who now are both just by faith and working, and God-fearing by future expectation, and astonished by the consolation to come? In whom also the Holy Spirit is known to dwell, since it is said through the Apostle: 'The charity of God is poured forth in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who is given to us' (Rom. 5:5); and again it is said to the faithful: 'Your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, whom you have from God' (1 Cor. 6:19). Who also receive an answer from the Holy Spirit that they shall not see death unless they first see the Christ of the Lord:
because in this yet corruptible life, by the grace of that same Holy Spirit revealing it, with the eyes of faith opened, they behold Him who promised to remain with them even to the end of the age (Matt. 28:20)—no longer a little child in the flesh, but immense in divinity. Who also say with the Apostle: 'And if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him so no longer' (2 Cor. 5:16). These also dwell in Jerusalem, and come in the Spirit into the temple into which Christ is brought. For they themselves are the Jerusalem who dwell in Jerusalem: they too are the temple who come into the temple, in whom and by whom Christ is received.
Briefly, brethren, we have run through these things, lest, while we have striven to set forth what are the sacraments of this day, and what holy and pure proclamation it holds, we should become tiresome to anyone. There follows: 'And when His parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the Law, he also took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said: Now Thou dost dismiss Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word, in peace' (Luke 2:27-29). Who liveth, etc.
