The Bible in a Year – Day 353 – Sharing the GospelĀ
Fr. Mike shares how verse 1 Peter 3:15 about being ready to give a reason for the faith that is within us has been one of the most influential Bible verses for him. As we start reading 1 Thessalonians today, Fr. Mike also highlights how Paul is encouraged by the faith of the Thessalonians and stresses the importance of not only sharing the gospel but also sharing our very selves. Today’s readings are 1 Peter 3-5, 1 Thessalonians 1-3, and Proverbs 30:15-16.

The Bible in a Year – Day 354 – Partakers of the Divine Nature
Fr. Mike reflects on the powerful reality that the sacrament of Baptism makes us partakers of God’s Divine nature, fundamentally changing us into beloved sons and daughters of God the Father. He also highlights how the second coming of Christ will come like a thief in the night, how Christians grieve with hope, and how we have to test the prophecies we hear from seers. Today’s readings are 2 Peter 1-3, 1 Thessalonians 4-5, and Proverbs 30:17-19.

The Bible in a Year – Day 355 – The Things of This World
Fr. Mike reminds us that, unlike Adam and Eve who gave into “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,” we are called to surrender our hearts and minds to the Lord and reject the things of this world. Today’s readings are 1 John 1-3; 2 Thessalonians 1-3; Proverbs 30:20-23.
