Daniel 3:14-20, 91-92, 95/Jn 8:31-42
In today’s reading, it reminds us that there are many Christians who are persecuted, still,
in today's society. However, by the power of faith, we are still united wherever God leads us.
The reading from today suggests this as three men were persecuted for not worshiping the golden
statue of King Nebuchadnezzar. Their faith remained strong and hopeful as they knew who their
Lord was and did not bow down to false gods. By their strong faith, that very same King was
able to have his eyes opened to God by how loyal they were. His heart was changed, and he
began to give thanks to God. The reading from today is very beneficial in this time of Lent
because it reminds us to stay loyal and faithful to God. 
As the Lenten season is coming to an end, temptations may come about, but we must
resist and keep our faith strong. We should ask ourselves at this time, how can I keep my faith
strong during this Lenten season? What can I do to keep my faith strong? How can I strive to be
a missionary disciple of Jesus wherever God places me today?
