Day 229: Shepherds of Israel (2025)

Fr. Mike explains the beautiful connections between all of our
readings today. He emphasizes how good shepherds are willing to
face the truth, and also sacrifice for their sheep, like Jesus who
laid down his life for us. In our reading of Jeremiah, Fr. Mike
also explains that the experience of shame points to the reality
that there is something good within us that ought not to be
violated. Today we read Jeremiah 6, Ezekiel 34-35, and Proverbs
14:25-28. For the complete reading plan, visit
