You can do math.

There's only 365 days in a year.

And so that means we're a few days away from the conclusion of this.

We're actually, we've departed from the historical books.

Now we've concluded the Acts of the Apostles yesterday.

And today we're starting exclusively, essentially letters and then the book of Revelation at the end in a little over a week from now.

But today we're reading James chapter one and two, as well as Philippians chapters three and four.

That's the conclusion of the letter of St.

Paul to the Philippians.

and Proverbs chapter 30, verses 1 through 6.

As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.

I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

You need to stay 350.

We're reading from James chapter 1 and 2, Philippians chapters 3 and 4, and Proverbs chapter 30, verses 1 through 6.

The Letter of James Chapter 1 Salutation James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion, greeting.

Faith and Wisdom Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials.
