Mc 1238-44 38 And in his teaching he said,
"Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around
in long robes and like greetings in the
marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the
synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
5
Do not trust those that occupy the top positions
The most important are those that serve
6
who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make
long prayers. They will receive the greater
condemnation."
7
If you devour the goods of others your prayer
will be empty
Prayer and charity go together (Mt 61ff)
8
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched
the people putting money into the offering box.
Many rich people put in large sums.
9
Greatness does not come from being first in the
ranking of investments
It is hypocrisy to help those you have ruined
before
10
And a poor widow came and put in two small copper
coins, which make a penny.
11

Two beans given with love are the greatest
treasure
Are you more greedy than her?

And he called his disciples to him and said to
them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has
put in more than all those who are contributing
to the offering box.
13
Do not ignore the insignificant aids
The small daily services enlarge you
14
For they all contributed out of their abundance,
but she out of her poverty has put in everything
she had, all she had to live on."
15
What it exceeds to you, is what others need to
live
Have you understood the doctrine of Jesus?
16
Lord, help us to assess our actions in light of
the Gospel, and to realize the importance of
meaningless gestures
