The Gospel
for
Remembrance Sunday
| As he taught, he said, "Beware
of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and to
be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to have the
best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at
banquets! They devour widows' houses and for the sake of
appearance say long prayers. They will receive the greater
condemnation." He sat down opposite the treasury and
watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich
people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two
small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called
his disciples and said to them, "Truly
I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those
who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have
contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her
poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live
on." ~ Mark 12: 38-44 |
