Mark 12:38-44

The Message

^38-40 He continued teaching. “Watch out for the religion scholars. They love to walk around in academic gowns, preening in the radiance of public flattery, basking in prominent positions, sitting at the head table at every church function. And all the time they are exploiting the weak and helpless. The longer their prayers, the worse they get. But they’ll pay for it in the end.” 

For Reflection

This is a story of commitment.  How committed are you to your faith?  How do you measure your commitment?  What do you give that is a sacrifice? 

Pray

that you will give your self to God.  Pray that you, like the widow will give in humility.  Pray that you will offer God in Christian hospitality.
