ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, we begin our journey into the 7 deuterocanonical books, starting with with the Book of Tobit, Chapter 1. The Bible I am reading from is the New American Bible online version taken from the USCCB website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/tobit/1. I use the prayer of Lectio Divine for my reflections.

In Chapter 1, Tobit strikes me of his extraordinary Faith to God (1:3). And his Good Deeds are grounded in his Love of God -- "Loving God with all of his mind." (1:12) Even though some of his Good Works brought about personal tragedies (1:19-20); in the end, through the Grace of God, Tobit is restored from his tragedies (1:21-23).
