CATHOLIC CHURCH CALENDAR: 32nd week in the ordinary Year ‘B’ 2021
WEEK REFLECTION: Mark 12:38-44
‘Give and share’
Did she really give more than all the rest? According to Jesus, she did! So how can that be? This Gospel passage reveals to us how God sees our giving compared to the worldly view.
What is giving and generosity all about?
The widow was able to give very little, yet her offering was pleasing to God. It is not what is given, but why it is given. All giving should symbolize self-giving (not just what we think we can spare). We give through symbols – (the widow’s money was a symbol of herself being offered to God (the money meant bread and life to her).
Reflect, today, on your calling in life.
Embracing your daily duty, loving your family, offering daily prayers, are treasures that you can offer God every day. He sees these and, most importantly, He sees the love and devotion with which you do them. Do small things with great love and you will be giving abundance to God in service of His holy will.
Prayer:
Lord, I give myself to You and to Your service this day and every day. May I do all I am called to do with great love. Please continue to show me my daily duty and help me to embrace that duty in accord with Your holy will. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
