DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
1 Kings 17:10-16, Hebrews 9:24:24-28, Psalm 145:7-10, Mark
12:38-44
1 Kings 17:10-16
My Beloved, when we put our faith and trust in You we will
always find that our needs are met. When we share what You in Your bounty have
given us then we can be sure that like the widow of Zarephath we will find that
You will supply all we need for as long as we need it.
We tend to hoard and store afraid to give lest there will be
nothing left for ourselves but the Gospel principle is different from that of
the world. We are called to give
generously and in return we will receive a full measure, shaken together and
running over. But we lack the spirit of generosity
and so we are stuck in our own stinginess unable to allow the Holy Spirit to
demonstrate to us what it means to live by faith and not by sight..
Psalm 145:7-10
My Beloved, Your Word constantly reminds us that God is a
friend to the widow and the orphan. Those who put their trust in You lack no
good thing. We are called to welcome the stranger and to stand by those who are
poor and do what we can to alleviate their misery. If we give as we have
received God will ensure that our own needs are met in this life and in the hereafter we will share in Your inheritance.
