Readings

THE FIRST READING

First Book of Kings, Chapter 17, Verses 10-16

She answered, I have nothing baked, there is only a handful of flour in my jar and a little oil in my jug.

Lord,

give us help

to do what you ask:

Just to bake a bit of bread,

or give our entire lives

to care for your

friends.

Let us trust your promises

as the widow

rusted.

Her jars of flour did not go empty,

nor did her jugs of oil

run dry.

THE SECOND READING

Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 9, Verses 24-28

But now once for all he has appeared at the end of the ages to take away sin by his sacrifice.

Christ,

your sacrificeis present even now. You always take before God

all that you lived and died for in life.

And so you take us as well before the Father.

We are grateful beyond measure.

We eagerly await the salvation you bring

to all of us who wait

with quiet

patience

for it.

THE GOSPEL

According to Mark, Chapter 12, Verses 38-44

Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.

Two tiny coins were all she had.

No attention, no reward

No place of honor

She gave it

all.

Jesus,

give us grace

not to count the cost.

Help us let go of our coins.

Take all that we own and all we are.
