King Achaz , in search of support, goes to Damascus to meet téglathphalasar , a powerful king. By admiring the
altar of Damascus, he sends a model to urias , the priest, thus revealing his desire to move away from the ways of God. This passage reminds us of the importance of remaining faithful to our
faith and not to be seduced by foreign practices. May our heart remain attached to
word divine, source of light and truth.
