Day 11: The Sacrifice of Isaac (2025)

918.604 - 947.931 Fr. Mike Schmitz

A burnt offering of an entire human being up the mountain. In fact, the tradition is that Isaac is in his 30s, maybe even 33 years old. Think about that for a second. Isaac is stronger than his father Abraham in this time in their lives. And so Isaac carrying up the wood demonstrates that he could overpower his father. that he submitted to his father, binding him, and he laid down willingly.
