The Sacred Scriptures continue to provide us with extraordinary examples of discipleship. Over the past weeks, James and John have shown us that as followers of Christ, we need to be bold and daring; Bartimaeus shows us the need for confidence and trust; the two widows in today’s readings, show us the need to be sacrificial and self-giving. They off-set the young man of the Gospel several weeks ago, whom Jesus told to sell all his possessions and then follow Him. The young man went away sad for he had many possessions. Yet, the widows of the readings today gave all they had for Elijah and for Christ. We are called to do the same. In your relationship with Christ and others ~ hold nothing back! Give your all and follow Him!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
