Comments from Deacon Dale Brown
T here are two ways of being generous: the way of the scribes, and the way of the widow. The scribes were the experts in
interpreting the Law of Moses, and the Law of Moses was the core of Jewish culture. And so the people of ancient Israel respected and reverenced the scribes. But Jesus was unhappy with them. Without a doubt, they worked long, hard hours; they were always busy with worthy projects. But, unfortunately, their natural intellectual gifts and elevated social function had gone to their heads. Instead of exercising their leadership as a service to the nation and to their neighbors, they were flaunting it to stoke their vanity, increase their comfort, and enhance their reputation. The higher they climbed, the more they looked down on everyone else. They considered themselves superior because they gave more time, talent, and treasure to the Temple than anyone else. But this was a one-dimensional view of generosity. The scribes were forgetting that all those external things were actually gifts God had given them in the first place. What God truly wants from us is something more, something deeper: he wants our love; he wants us to trust in him. This is what the poor widow gave to him. She didn’t just share some of her abundance; she handed over to God all of her wealth, saying to him: “Lord, you are my good shepherd, and I will follow wherever you lead.” That was a prayer the scribes never prayed. They considered that they were doing God a favor by serving him; the widow understood that God was the one doing the favors. That’s the kind of generosity God wants to see flourish in each one of us: the generosity by which we give to God not just our stuff, but our heart.

Prayer Requests
November 7, 2021 - 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Celebrate Life! Please pray for the women in our parish who are with child.
Prayers are a wonderful way to support a mother & her family.
Dear Heavenly Father,
we ask you to protect the little babies who are being knit together in their mothers’
wombs. Comfort their mothers & fathers during the time they are growing &
developing. Lord Jesus, give these smallest of persons the strength to come into this world,
to fully participate in your creation. Send your Holy Spirit to infuse their souls with love for you. After long, healthy, & loving lives, bring them safely home to
your heavenly kingdom. Amen.
Congratulations to: Expectant
