Mass Intentions

Digging deeper

November 11, 2018 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 

In 1 Samuel, God advises the prophet Samuel not to observe as men see but as God 

sees. He tells him to "look to the heart." This is the movement of this Sunday's Gospel 

reading. "Beware the scribes," Jesus advises. He points out their public gree ngs and 

"seats of honor," which stands in sharp contrast to their private greed. For the Jewish 

people of Jesus' day, honor resides at the top. Power and pres ge created a high pro-

file back then as it s ll does today. A er his warning, Jesus turns his disciples' a en-

on elsewhere: a poor widow. 

"She, from her poverty, has contributed all she had." While the scribes donated large 

sums to the temple, they did so "from their surplus wealth." This woman -- in her 

faith and devo on -- offers "her whole livelihood." Jesus invited his disciples to see 

with God's eyes, to recognize a holy life in people the world overlooks. Here -- in the 

poor, the vulnerable, the marginalized -- God waits hidden. 

Today's Gospel begs a few ques ons. What do we see? Whom do we value? Are we 

impressed by the pomp and circumstance of modern day Pharisees? Do we ignore 

their self-righteousness because it looks impressive, even seems somewhat helpful? 

The point isn't to judge the scribes, of course. God can see their hearts as well, and 

those assessments are firmly his responsibility. The point is to turn our eyes from the 

typically honored to the rarely respected. Are we disinterested in the poverty of the 

modern day widows? Do we ignore their faith because we forget to look for it? This 

Sunday, consider the widows in your own life. Who can you see with God's eyes?

Dear Lord,

Today we honor our veterans,

worthy the men and women

who gave their best

when they were called upon

to serve and protect their country.

We pray that you bless them, Lord,

for their unselfish service in the con nual struggle

to preserve our freedoms, our safety,

and our country's heritage, for all of us.

Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced,

for the sacrifices they made, for the many different

contribu ons to America's victories over tyranny

and oppression.

We respect them, we thank them,

we honor them, we are proud of them,

and we pray that you will watch over

these special people

and bless them with peace and happiness.

In Jesus' name we pray;

Amen.
