Today’s Gospel is about a woman whose praises will be sung for all time! Who is she?…..she is a poor suffering unnamed widow. Maybe she was barefoot and poorly clothed with her fatherless children in tow. Yet she gave all that she had to God! And we sing her praises to this day. She didn’t give from her leftovers once every other need was taken care of. No, she gave from her substance -she gave everything to God and trusted Him to provide.
Father Broom asks us if we are generous with our time? our talent? amd our treasure?… do we give until it hurts? Do we give from our surplus – that is like serving a guest leftovers when they come to dinner. Or do we give from our substance – do we give all like that widow?
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
