Chapter 50 ends the section on honoring our ancestors in the faith and it moves into a benediction.
In the epilogue we hear who writes this book. "Instruction in understanding and knowledge I have written in this book, Jesus son of Eleazar son of Sirach of Jerusalem." (50:27) And then he issues this challenge: "Happy are those who concern themselves with these things, and those who lay them to heart will become wise." (50:28).
I hope you have enjoyed walking with Ben Sira through this season of Lent. As we enter into these three days of the Triduum may we do so with the Wisdom of Ben Sira as our guide.
