November 10 – Giving Greatly
Widows are visible everywhere in today’s readings. Jesus denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but devour widows’ houses. He commends the poor widow who in his view gave far more than the major donors. Jesus doesn’t see her simply as an object of compassion or charity. She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit of food with Elijah, does something of great importance.
1 Kings 17: 8-16 and Mark 12: 38-44

Generosity rises from the conviction that God has provided, and that we can participate in God’s work with our offerings. Give today.
