November 25, 2024. Rv. 14:1-3. 4b-5; Luke 21: 1-4.

True generosity.

The wisdom in her poverty gives all she has while rich people give out of their abundance. She praises her offering because it expresses true charity. True charity must always be sacrificial. Our true greatness is not revealed in what we have but in what we give. Giving is always trusting that God always provides back. It is on the basis of faith and love that the poor widow could give all she had. Generosity is always the practical expression of love and prayer. While true love is always sacrificial, the generosity of a heart is measured by its ability to pour out for another.

Happy new week.
