Oblate Family Morning Prayer June 10th: With Sr Lumay

Darndale-Belcamp Parish, Dublin

Good morning and welcome to morning prayer with Sr Lumay in Darndale.

Today’s gospel makes us think – do I think too much about what others think of me? Does this influence my behaviour? Am I ashamed of who I am? Ask Jesus for light and help to keep in the truth. Do I measure my worth by my external success or am I free to look at my heart and be ready to be generous even in my poverty?

God looks at the heart and its readiness to give generously.

“A poor widow came and put in two small coins, the equivalent of a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, ‘I tell you solemnly, this poor widow has put more in than all who have contributed to the treasury; for they have all put in money they had over, but she from the little she had has put in everything she possessed, all she had to live on.”
