Ordinary 32

The widow of Zarephath and the widow of the Gospel both teach us something about sacrificial giving. Their charity in both instances cost a great deal. We call it a sacrifice. In Hebrews we read about the sacrifice of Christ.

To sacrifice like they did requires trust in God. The reason we do not make such sacrifices is that we do not trust fully in God, prefering to trust in our own ability to provide. What would happen if we all chose to trust in God ?
