Note: It's good to be back after four days at Holy Family Hospital.

Lk 21:1-4

The Widow’s Offering

21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

We saw this Gospel recently, but again it has a lesson for us. No matter how small the material gift is, the love with which it is given makes it priceless. We are not infinitely rich, but God is, and welcomes our attempts to give as much as we can. He sees the love in our hearts behind our "meagre" gift and that is what counts. Let us not hold back but continue to give from the depths of our loving hearts.

Dear God, help me to give all that I can from a loving heart. Amen.
