How long she had been a widow: EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS

What she did on seeing the child: GAVE THANKS AND SPOKE OF HIM TO ALL

Remarks:

The subject was a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, advanced in years, having lived with a husband seven years and then as a widow to about eighty-four.

She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.

Coming up at the very hour that Simeon blessed the infant Jesus, the subject recognized the child and began to give thanks to God.

She spoke of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem, a faithful witness in her old age to the arrival of the promised one.

The subject stands with Simeon as one of the aged faithful who saw the consolation of Israel before they died.

A life of worship, fasting, and prayer is never wasted.
God rewards those who persevere with Him into old age.
Having seen the Redeemer, we cannot help but tell of Him.
