Who's Holding It Together?

This morning's Gospel tell the brief story of the widow who put two small coins from her poverty, not from her surplus, but her whole livelihood, into the temple treasury, Her generosity and trust set the example for us, not to put our security in things, not to get upset when things don't go our way, not to hold back when we are asked to move from our comfort zone. When we think of it, God is holding the whole universe together, so what reason, other than one stemming from a lack of faith, can prevent us from boldly proceeding forward, of giving from our own livelihood, time and talent?  If St. Marcellin had not given of himself totally to his call, to his vision and mission of making Jesus known and loved, you the Church, the world, would be missing a huge piece in  spirituality and Catholic education, and you would not be munching on this little slice of bread. Let us then throw ourselves in confidence to God who is holding it all together.
