Friends of the Rosary, The poor widow of today’s reading (Mk 12:38-44 or 12:41-44), who, in the words of Jesus, “contributed all she had, her whole livelihood,” remained confident that God would be pleased with her sacrifice. “Christ Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury.  For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” In her wisdom, she knew that the Author of Life provides for those who make a total gift of self to them. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York
