Contemplation (verse 19)
”When the Book of the Law was read, King Josiah tore his clothes and wept before the Lord. He did not consider his youth, nor did he lean on the purity of his past. But he humbled himself before the Word of God and cried out with repentance. His tears ascended to God like a burnt offering, and the Lord declared, “I also have heard you.”
+ Fr Tadros Yacoub Malaty
