Defense of the people of God is a recurring theme in the Scriptures, illustrating the faith and the
courage believers in the face of adversity. In this passage, the Jews united to protect their lives show that, even in the darkest moments, the solidarity and the
Justice prevail. They choose not to let themselves be drawn by revenge , as emphasizes
Esther 9:10 , recalling that the real force lies in
mercy . May our faith guide us to act with wisdom and love, even in the face of the opposition.
