Theme: Daily Scripture
“Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell.”
Reflection for Today
Pause with Esther 1:9. Hear these words again: “Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell.”
Esther, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested. Read in Catholic faith, this is not a decorative sentence for social media. It is a living word meant to convert, console, and send us back into ordinary life with a quieter heart.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Esther 1:9 remain. If the verse convicts you, do not panic. Take it to Confession when you can, or begin with an honest Act of Contrition tonight.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, Word made flesh, You still teach Your disciples through Sacred Scripture. Through Esther 1:9, let “Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus…” become more than a memory. Make it light for my work, patience for my home, and courage for my vocation. Amen.
