ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, Tobiah is finally making his way home. Meanwhile, his parents are worried and getting more anxious by the day not knowing why the delay. Here are some of my reflections:

1) Recall the times when you were caught between your faith and blindness, just like Tobit in Ch.10? How were the matters resolved?

2) How deep is your faith that God provides for our needs?

3) What does Jesus mean in Mt 6:24, "No one can serve two masters"? Is Jesus denying the reality of our human needs?

4) How is Marriage the image of God's love?

... More reflection questions in the Show Note.

The Bible I am reading from is the New American Bible or the NAB online version taken from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops or the USCCB website: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/tobit/10. For the Book of Tobit, I also refer to the online version of the Douay-Rheims Bible – which is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, whereas the NAB is translated from the Septuagint or the Greek version.
