First‚ the first family tree appears (the first fragment) at the beginning of the first gospel. St. Matthew explains that Jesus is a descendent of David and Abraham‚ which may indicate Jesus’s Jewish and royal blood.

10:25-37 the "Good Samaritan". The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most well known parables of Jesus Christ.

the Feet of Jesus by Helena Viramontes‚ the struggles of Estrella and her family have a sobering effect‚ demonstrating the hardships that migrant workers endure.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS Keeping your eyes on Jesus sounds funny because we can’t see Him like we see people‚ but He is always with us. Day 14 was about how to have eyes on Jesus‚ and it’s a good idea for us to have a look at that again today‚ being the last day of this book.
