Good morning, St. John’s students, faculty, and staff. Let us pause in our day to pray.
He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”- Lk 21:1-4
In today’s gospel, by giving everything she had, the poor widow put all of her devotion and faith in God. Jesus reminds us that when we give, it should be out of love for God, and not for any self-serving purpose.
(Pause)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Dear God, in the hustle and bustle of the season, as we are prompted and pushed toward materialism, help us reflect and act from a heart full of devotion, faith, and charity in your name. Amen
Thank you and have a spectacular day.
