Father Mike Schmitz: 在列王纪下第三章中，以色列王约兰虽然不像他的父母那样邪恶，但仍然行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。在与摩押的战争中，以色列、犹大和以东的联军面临缺水的困境。先知以利沙通过神迹提供了大量的水，使得摩押人误以为敌军自相残杀。最终，以色列人击败了摩押人。摩押王在战事不利时，甚至将自己的儿子献为燔祭。这场战争展示了上帝在困境中的供应，以及摩押人因错误判断而导致的失败。

Fr. Mike zeroes in on how Uzziah's prideful desire to worship God in his own way led to his tragic death. We are reminded once again how easily the kings over Judea strayed away from God after achieving greatness. Today's readings are 2 Kings 3, 2 Chronicles 26-27, and Psalm 72.
