Ordinary 32
The widow of Zarephath illustrates God providing. Elijah asks her to use the last of her resources to provide bread for him. In return, she is blessed by the prophet. God takes the little we have to offer and multiplies it in return.
Gospel offers the "widow's mite" as an illustration of giving. We often miss the point that such giving makes us dependent upon God.
We continue our reading from the Letter to the Hebrews. Perhaps moving on to the sacrifice of the Mass as God's action. A continuation of the priest being transparent so God is seen in the Mass.

Hi, Father Pat. I just read about your blog in The Catholic Times and decided to stop in. I remember you from years ago at St. Mary's in Marion. I was in grade school then; now I have three children of my own -- two at St. Mary School. It was good to hear your name again. God bless you. --Lori (Everly) Stevenson
