Holy Week! The triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple, in keeping with the Word of the Lord to Isaiah (56:7) " My house shall be a House of Prayer for all people." What will Jesus see/do/say next, my "walking with Jesus" friend? It's Tuesday of Holy Week for us, it was the time of the Feast of the Passover for Jesus and the Jewish community. That meant, among other things, bringing an offering to the temple. Jesus watched as people put in their offerings. A man in rich clothing held up a fat bag, waved it conspicuously, then opened it and let fall into the offering box, many silver coins. (We can be sure he wanted people to notice.)Jesus keeps watching. Now, coming quietly and quickly (probably hoping no one notices)Jesus sees a poor widow come to the offering box, quickly drop in two coins, then disappear into the crowd. And Jesus said: " For sure, this poor widow
has put in MORE than all the rest, for they put in from abundance, but she, out of her poverty put in all that she had."(Mark 12:41-44) How do WE give to the Lord? 2 Corinthians 9:7: "The Lord loves a cheerful giver."
