Trusting widows play a significant role in this weekend’s readings. At the point of poverty, when giving even the smallest amount of what they had could imperil their health and well-being, they trusted God and gave anyway. What is important about their giving is not what or how much they gave, but how they gave it. Without selfishness, they gave to help others. Their giving was from the heart, with little hope or intention of receiving any sort of reward or recognition for their generosity. The monetary values of the widows’ gifts were small, but their value measured in the Kingdom was priceless. There is a significant similarity between their gift and the gift Jesus gave each of us. The widows offered their lives for God. Jesus offered his life for us.
On Tuesday December 8, the Saint Clare Book Club will hold its annual Christmas Luncheon at the Sea Goose on Route 1 (Post Road) at noon.
A discussion will be held on the club’s next book, entitled
Iron Lace by Emily Richards.
If members or guests plan to attend the December meeting at
the Sea Goose, please notify Carolyn Longolucco
[email protected] or at 401-596-2964.
All are welcome to join the lively discussions. Be sure to bring your lunch.
