    Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. I do not know all their needs, but you do, Lord. I offer them to you with confidence that you hear our prayers. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, discerning, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand and revere & treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Please send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Please give me the grace to set aside my intellect and my know-it-all attitude and let your Word speak to my heart and my soul. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Thank you and praise you for the gift of perseverance and for nourishing us with your word! Amen.

    This was one of the most compelling insights. Especially in light of all of the confusion in our nation and in our Church. In the midst of all of this we are to be faithful as we live out our exile. It will be this faithfulness that gets us through.

    I had the pleasure to hear and read this passage in Daniel on the Solemnity of Christ the King. Although it wasn't today's reading at the Mass it lends itself to such. The psalmist asks, "Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle; Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty- he is the King of glory." He also says lift ye ancient gates. "Who is this king of glory," is our question even today. We know He's Jesus the King of kings. We say of course we know him but Kingdom of God do you know Him. You who should know yet deny Him present in the Eucharist. He is your King but you denounce Him and see His crown of thorns as a failure not the symbol of His perpetual sempiternal crown of glory. You mock Him as the Roman guards ridiculed Him, "King of the [worms]." How can good figs have a communal relationship with our King with the bad figs or tares among wheat? Santify yourselves in the Sacraments. Come home to His Kingdom you of hearts far away merely giving lip service. Give Him the worship He is due in spirit and in truth. Warm your hearts not your pews. Enter His courts with shouts of thanks giving. It made me glad when they said, "Come enter the house of the Lord!"

    6 - Be loyal and faithful, and God will forgive your sin. Obey the Lord and nothing evil will happen to you.
    7 - When you please the Lord, you can make your enemies into friends.
    8 - It is better to have a little, honestly earned, than to have a large income, dishonestly gained. ✝

    I’ve heard it said that the 10 horns 10 kings thing was a prophetic reference to the 10 Germanic groups that gradually conquered parts of the Western Roman Empire until it was all gone. They were the Alemanni, Franks, Burgundians, Vandals, Suevi, Visigoths, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Lombards, and the Heruli. The three which were plucked up in the prophecy is a reference to the three that failed to stick around and were ultimately thrown out of the lands they conquered in the Empire. These were the Heruli who were driven from Italy in 493, the Vandals from Africa in 533, and the Ostrogoths also from Italy in 538, with the last one having been driven out by Byzantine General Belisarius who was fighting on behalf of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian.

    Words I took away in tonight's BIAY reading was Daniel's faithfulness to God .......
    " When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem and he got down upon his knees three times a day and give thanks before his God as he had done previously.
    Then, these men came by in agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.( Let's pause for a moment and meditate on this part.......this verse is worth pondering and imagine this scenario happening during our time.Can you imagine what these men would have done had this happened today, with Cellphones in their hands? After seeing Daniel kneeling down, praying to God of which was forbidden to do according to the Decree King Darius signed, these men would have been taking pictures of Daniel and sending it to King Darius with the caption....." Daniel disobeyed your decree, he must be punished "!
    There is no doubt these men would have done that, after all, their aim was to put Daniel away out of their jealousy, enviousness and hatred that he excelled and favored more than them. ..." Then, they came near and said before the king concerning the interdict. O King, did you not sign an interdict that any man who makes petition to any God or man within thirty days except to you O king , shall be cast into the den of lions"?
    ( let's ALL learn from these tattle-tellers, backbiters and betrayers....do not trust any of your opponents! In any competition, losers might pretend to " congratulate " you and say.." i'm happy for you", are more likely be just saying them out of pretense and it can not be trusted. Hate, Envy and Jealousy are an Incurable diseases and it's usually ruling over the person who got lost over you, so never trust your opponents/enemy!).These men are perfect example of how jealousy can make people do evil deeds.
    Daniel was thrown into the Lion's den, saved by the God he served and in the end, he won by God's heavenly intervention and execution of his Godly power.Daniel's story is one of the MANY Proofs that shows us that he is very REAL and ALIVE.
    Thank you Father Mike for another night of feeding our soul! We appreciate all your hard work of feeding Jesus lambs and sheep..

    How come your Bible version never mentions God's name when Jesus made sure everyone he preached to came to know his heavenly father's name?
    *John 17:26*
    I have made your name known to them and will make it known.
    *God, whose name is Jehovah* is shown in the Hebrew-Greek scriptures over 7,000 times. This clearly tells everyone that he wanted us to get to know him personally as a real friend.
    Isaiah 42:8 NEW WORLD TRANSLATION
    I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, Nor my praise to graven images.
    Isaiah 42:8 NEW KING JAMES VERSION
    I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
    How will anyone who wishes to draw close to God ignore his name written in the Bible over 7,000 times? To have faith, we must have accurate knowledge and that begins with praying to God and calling his name Jehovah.
    When you meet someone for the first time, *do you not ask for the name* in order to begin to know that person? 😊👍🏼

      Does a child need to know the name of his Father in order to begin to know him? When i first learned my parents's names, it was a 'sacred' moment. Even though I now knew their names, I also knew their names were special, because i couldn't call them by their names, as i could call my siblings and friends by their names. There was something different about their names.
      When Jesus teaches the disciples how to pray, the prayer is address to 'Our Father...' --- Not to Our Lord or our Jehovah. This shows me that my relationship to God is more important than my knowledge of God - he is my Father, i am his child.
