Today we read about the critical moment when Assyria destroys the Northern Kingdom, and the ten northern tribes are exiled and assimilated among the nations. Fr. Mike explains how this moment and the foreign possession of Samaria is key in order to understand Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. We also read about how the prophet Micah beautifully foreshadows the birth of Jesus. Today's readings are 2 Kings 17, Micah 5-7, and Psalm 140.

0:27.5 | we would be halfway through. I think that math is wrong. I think that means halfway through |

0:38.4 | today is halfway. And if you celebrate it yesterday, wow, I've made it halfway. You can |
0:42.9 | celebrate again today because it's the maybe maybe real halfway. I don't know. People who are |
0:46.8 | better at math than me. And I didn't realize it's a simple division. You're just dividing |
