Tobit

On this day, we remember the righteous Tobit, from the tribe of Naphtali, who lived in captivity in Nineveh. He feared God from his youth and was known for his mercy, giving alms to the poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and burying the dead.

After one of his works of mercy, Tobit became blind and suffered greatly, yet he remained faithful to God and continued in prayer.
