Day 304: Life Beyond Death (2025)

Fr. Mike focuses on the powerful theme that connects all of our
readings today- the reality of life beyond death. In the story of
the martyrdom of the seven brothers in 2 Macabees, we see how the
brothers and their mother fiercely reject the temptation to violate
God's law, and boldly hold onto their hope in the resurrection of
the dead. Our readings from Wisdom also remind us that death is not
the end, because we know that eternal life is waiting for us beyond
death. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 7, Wisdom 3-4, and Proverbs
24:27-29. For the complete reading plan, visit
