Day 303: Eleazar's Martyrdom (2025)

Fr. Mike offers a recap of Eleazar's martyrdom and marvels at
Eleazar's courage to avoid both sin, and the temptation to lead
others into sin. As we begin reading the book of Wisdom today, we
also learn three valuable lessons; God did not create death, death
entered the world through sin, and we are wise when we walk in the
truth but foolish when we walk in evil. Today's readings are 2
Maccabees 6, Wisdom 1-2, and Proverbs 24:21-26. For the complete

The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for
children - parental discretion is advised.
