Tuesday, November 18, 2025: (St. Rose Duchene)
Jesus said: “My people, in the Second Book of Maccabees, Eleazar was being forced to eat pork by the king’s edict. But he spit it out, and he would rather be martyred than disobey God’s law. He was ninety years old and he did not want to give a bad example to the younger people. It is hard to give up one’s life as a martyr for following your belief in My laws. In the Gospel I went to the house of Zaccheus as he said he would give up half of his possessions to the poor. I came on the earth to save those people who are lost.”
