Dan, thanks for taking on the first reading today. It would have been easier to focus on the Gospel (also, obviously a great message) but your reflection allows us to take pause and examine the world we live in today and where the events unfolding in Maccabees is played out over the centuries. God bless.

Thank you, Dan. I couldn’t help thinking of Communism when I read the first reading. Government oppression, intolerance of religion, free-thought, persecution, etc… I heard somewhere that when we forsake God, or abandon our faith in God and we follow ourselves, death happens. In every sense of the word. But isn’t it wonderful that He has never forsaken us?

Thanks Dan for this reflection. I can consider how lucky we are today because we can all worship our God freely without fear.

Amen. It is our one prayer as a “people” that we define who we truly are and on what grounds of Faith in God we want our generation to be identified because “Righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach to it” Thanks Dan.Gods blessings through Christ.
