Fr. Agustin writes: The story of the widow’s generosity is well placed at this stage in Mark’s Gospel. The poor widowtypifies what Jesus will do himself – give everything as an offering to God. When Jesus is finished giving, there will be nothing left for him to give. He gives his all. That is the reality of his piety. Jesus hopes that his own disciples will take their cue from that example of real piety, not from the scribes hungry for status and honour. He hopes that we, his followers, will be equally generous with our own resources. Those resources
are not always measured in money. We are called on to give of our time, our talent, our understanding. We are asked to give not just from our abundance but from our substance. That kind of giving always hurts, because we feel all spent after it. Like the widow, we might feel that we have nothing more to give; but it’s that kind of giving that counts with Jesus.
