Summary

Today we read about Elijah's discouragement after fleeing from Jezebel, and how God tells him to "arise and eat" to strengthen him for the journey ahead. Fr. Mike points out how God calls us to draw strength for the journey as well, even at the end of our earthly lives. The readings are 1 Kings 19-20, 2 Chronicles 20, and Song of Solomon 6.

0:19.9	It is day 168. We are reading from 1st Kings chapter 21, 2nd Chronicles chapters 21 and 22, and the
0:26.3	Song of Solomon chapter 7. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised
0:30.2	standard version, second Catholic edition. And I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension.

1:08.9	vegetable garden because it is near my house. And I will give you a better vineyard for it, or if it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house,
1:11.4	and I will give you a better vineyard for it, or if it seems good to you, I will give you its
1:15.7	value and money. But Naboth said to Ahab, the Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my
1:21.3	fathers. And Ahab went into his house vexed and sullen because of what Naboth the Jesriolite had said to him,
1:28.0	for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my father's. And he lay down on his bed
1:32.6	and turned away his face and would eat no food. But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said to him,
1:37.9	Why is your spirit so vexed that you eat no food? And he said to her, because I spoke to Nabath, the Jesriolite, and said to him,
