Gospel
Luke 21:1-4
He noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.
When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”
Reflection
When i read this Gospel it always remind me of the collection bag. Normally it is filled with the smallest note. Even those who can give more will not. However the reading actually go beyond money. I feel he was talking about surrender our life completely to God . Are we willing to surrender ourself completely to God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus today you remind us just like the old lady at the temple let to give ourself completely to God. As we continue on this journey of faith may we always have you in our heart and mind.
Amen
