Day 352: Purified by Fire (2024)

As we begin reading 1 Peter today, Fr. Mike walks us through
Peter's powerful message about persevering in trials, trusting that
those sufferings purify our love and faith by teaching us to love
God for his own sake and not just the gifts he blesses us with.
Finally, as we wrap up Colossians, Fr. Mike highlights St. Paul's
call to uphold the obligations we have to others in society, in our
family, and in our work. Today we read 1 Peter 1-2, Colossians 3-4,
and Proverbs 30:10-14. For the complete reading plan, visit
