March 5, 2024 3rd week Lent
Today’s first reading is from the book of Daniel and when I read that someone was in the fire, I looked for the entire chapter because I thought it was the story of the three in the fire. I was correct. It is Abednego talking within the fire. This passage is an addition to the Bible that is only in the Catholic bible. In the gospel, Jesus says you must forgive 77 times. Then he tells of the unmerciful servant. He says that you should forgive your brother from your heart. Forgiveness and mercy are keys to the kingdom! Amen! Today would have been my mother’s 77th birthday. 🎂 Rest in peace Mom.
