Contemplation (verse 24)
“Her voice was great, not because of the intense vibrations it sent through the air nor because of the outcry that came from her lips, but because of the greatness of the chastity with which she called out to the Lord. … the Scripture did not attribute a great voice to the outcry of the elders …”
+ St Jerome
Personal Reflection: The elders “turned their eyes away from heaven,” while Susanna kept her eyes on God. Where do your “eyes” tend to focus most: pleasing others, fitting in, or staying faithful? How can you shift your focus back toward God this week?
Bible Knowledge Question: What did Susanna do immediately after the false accusation was made?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You who defended Susanna when she trusted in You, give us the same courage to stay loyal to You in every choice we make. Keep our hearts pure, our eyes fixed on You, and our voices ready to cry out to You for help. Strengthen us to choose what is right even when it is hard, and let Your truth guide and protect us always. Amen.
