Gospel
Luke 21:1-4
The widow's mite
As Jesus looked up, he saw rich people putting their offerings into the treasury; then he happened to notice a poverty-stricken widow putting in two small coins, and he said, ‘I tell you truly, this poor widow has put in more than any of them; for these have all contributed money they had over, but she from the little she had has put in all she had to live on.’
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
