Esther 4:5

Key Reflection

This passage highlights Esther's deep concern for Mordecai and her willingness to support him, even going so far as to send him new clothing to replace his sackcloth of mourning. However, Mordecai’s refusal underscores the severity of the threat he faced, indicating that nothing could persuade him to abandon his position of fasting and prayer until action was taken against the plot against the Jews.
