Day 271: Israel's Foreign Wives (2025)

Fr. Mike discusses God’s instruction to the people of Israel not to
marry women from foreign lands. He explains why God would provide
this instruction and how Ezra reacted when he discovered that many
prominent Israelites had not obeyed it. He also identifies the
prophecies of Palm Sunday and the thirty pieces of silver found in
Zechariah. Today’s readings are Ezra 9-10, Zechariah 9-11, and
Proverbs 20:16-19. For the complete reading plan, visit
