Contemplation (verse 41-44)

Do you say that you cannot afford to offer any deed of compassion?… Do you not possess two mites? Whatever your poverty is, you have two feet, by which you can visit the sick and the prisoner. You have a roof, under which you can give hospitality to strangers. There is no excuse for not doing deeds of compassion
+ St. John Chrysostom

…It is the giving of the inner heart, that pleases God’s heart; and not just the apparent giving.
+ Fr Tadros Malaty

Personal Reflection: What can I offer to God from what I have? My time? My patience? My pride?

Bible Knowledge Question: Who did Jesus tell that the widow has given more than everyone else?

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to have a thankful heart that wants to cheerfully give You what I have. Help me to give You from my time when I feel I’m drowning in study and activities and social media, help me to give Your people patience and kindness when I am frustrated and feel I am the last of my endurance, help me to give of my possessions to help others. Amen.
