Summary

In today's reading from 1 Maccabees, we hear about the victory of Judas Maccabeus, which is also the story of Hanukkah. In Sirach, Fr. Mike points out that chasing fame and glory in this world are not worth our time, because they will all fade away after we are gone. The readings are 1 Maccabees 4, Sirach 10-12, and Proverbs 22:9-12.

0:11.3	podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll
0:15.0	read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds,
0:19.2	and I'll weep it into that story today. It is day 285. We are four days into the Maccabee
0:24.2	and Revolt. We're reading 1st Maccabees, chapter 4, C. 10, 11, and 12, as well as Proverbs
0:29.2	chapter 22, verses 9 through 12. As always, the Bible translation we are reading from is
0:33.0	the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure
0:36.1	Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you
0:39.4	can visit AscensionPress.com slash Bible in a year. You can also subscribe to this podcast

1:11.4	guides, but Judas heard of it, and he and his mighty men moved out to attack the king's
1:15.9	force in Emeas while the division was still absent from the camp. When Gorgius entered the camp
1:20.7	of Judas by night, he found no one there, so he looked for them in the hills because he said
1:25.7	these men are fleeing from us. At daybreak, Judas appeared in the plain with 3,000 men,
1:31.5	but they did not have armor and swords such as they desired, and they saw the camp of the Gentiles
1:36.7	strong and fortified with cavalry round about it, and these men were trained in war. But Judas
