As we begin reading from 1 Maccabees today, Fr. Mike highlights the severe persecution against the Jews and the desecration of the Temple led by Antiochus Epiphanes. We also start our journey in the book of Sirach today and learn about the fear of the Lord, clinging to the Lord in trials, and the importance of honoring our parents. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 1, Sirach 1-3, and Proverbs 21:29-31.For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
