In ordinary time the daily readings are a lectio continuo, a continuous reading of a particular book of the Bible. For the past nine weeks the gospel has been from the Gospel of Mark, going through it chapter by chapter. (On Monday we will begin to read from St. Matthew.) The series of readings end with the story of the “widow’s mite.” Her “two small coins worth a few cents” were worth “more than all the other contributors to the treasury.” What a powerful reminder that if we give what we can, it will be enough. Can we solve our family problems, end violence in the city, put an end to hunger? No. But when we put in our “two bits,” God will bless it.
