In the month of February, we delve into the sacred scriptures to find guidance and strength amidst uncertainty. The accounts in Matthew and Mark will lead us through the final days of Jesus’ earthly life, from His triumphal entry into Jerusalem to His crucifixion and resurrection. These events are the heart of our faith and offer us examples of love, sacrifice, and triumph. Meanwhile, the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers provide us with a vision of God’s relationship with His people, divine laws, and the importance of faithfulness. The Proverbs, with their timeless wisdom, will teach us how to live a just and prudent life. May these readings inspire you to deepen your faith, find comfort in God’s promises, and live with integrity in today’s world.
