Theme: Self-giving to God.
1st
Reading: Kings, chapter 17: 10-16
By the example of the widow of Zarephath, we
learn that when we generously give of ourselves, no matter how little, our gift
is precious in God’s eye. It shall not go unrewarded.
2nd
Reading: Hebrews, chapter 9: 24-28
St Paul places Christ’s sacrifice in its
proper context: the context of Christ himself, as High Priest, entering the
heavenly sanctuary with his own blood, his very life, as atonement for the sins
of all mankind.
Gospel
Reading: Mark, chapter 12: 38-44
The poor widow gave to God all that she had,
out of generosity. Jesus commends this kind of self-giving, and cautions us
against actions that are done only to attract attention.
