I want to remind you about our upcoming OMSDT Bible Study session, scheduled for Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 9:00 PM EST.
Please note that for May, we will be adjusting our regular schedule. Instead of meeting on the second and fourth Sundays, we will meet on the first and third Sundays to accommodate everyone for Mother's Day and Memorial Day.
During this session, we will discuss the Book of 2 Chronicles. This book chronicles the history of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, from Solomon's reign to the conclusion of the Babylonian exile. While Judah's decline is disappointing, the focus is on the spiritual reformers who diligently work to lead the people back to God.
The book emphasizes goodness and offers little commentary on the failures of either evil or good kings. Because 2 Chronicles takes a priestly perspective, it rarely mentions the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which is associated with false worship and a refusal to acknowledge the Temple in Jerusalem. The book concludes with the final destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord, be their guide and consolation. May their sacrifices be honored, their love returned, and their hearts filled with peace.

Daniel prayed: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."
