Background on the Gospel Reading By Loyola Press Sunday Connection
Mark 12:38-44
The context for today’s Gospel continues to be mounting tension between Jesus and the Jewish authorities. Mark reports some of Jesus’ teaching in the Temple area in today’s reading and in the preceding verses not included in our Lectionary sequence. In the first part of today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus warn the crowds not to follow the example of the scribes in seeking honor and attention from others. It is important to recall that Mark indicates that Jesus taught these things while in the vicinity of the Temple in Jerusalem. Mark is setting the stage for Jesus’ passion.
Jesus then observes how Jewish pilgrims are making their contributions to the temple treasury. The Temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship in the time of Jesus. It was expected that observant Jews would make pilgrimages to the Temple to offer prayer and sacrifices. Pilgrims were also expected to make a financial contribution to the temple treasury.
As we would expect to be the case, Jesus observes that those who were rich contributed large sums to the treasury. Those with less means made smaller contributions. A similar situation exists in most of our parishes as well. Jesus calls attention, however, to a poor widow who makes the smallest of contributions—two coins of little value. Jesus upholds the poor widow’s offering for his disciples’ consideration, commending her because her small offering was an act of profound generosity, giving from her livelihood rather than her surplus.
To give from our livelihood is not only an act of generosity, it is also an act of trust in God. We can only give from our need if we trust that God will provide for us. Jesus himself demonstrates the ultimate act of generosity and trust in God as he gives his life for us on the cross.

******************************
Today begins Vocations Awareness Week.
As Catholics, we firmly believe that God has a plan for our lives! He calls some to marriage, some to the priesthood, and
others to religious life or to live as generous single people. Fully living our
own vocations- and teaching young people how to discern God’s call- is a
serious duty, but also a joyful one. During this week, please encourage the
young people in your life- children, grandchildren, students and friends- to be
open if God calls them to priesthood or religious life.

Everyone Has a Divine Vocation “Jesus has a specific task in life for each and every one of us. Each one of us is hand-picked, called by name by Jesus!
There is no one among us who does not have a divine vocation! Some are called audibly by God, but the usual kind of call is internal, through the inner working of
the Spirit.”
Homily by Pope St. John Paul II
The Saints Came Marching In On Sunday, October 31st the CFP program learned the true
meaning of All Hallow’s Eve. We explored the Christian roots of this beautiful feast.

Merit
The charity of Christ is the source in us of all
our merits before God. Grace, by uniting us to Christ in active love,
ensures the supernatural quality of our acts and consequently their merit
before God and before men. The saints have always had a lively
awareness that their merits were pure grace.
After earth's exile, I hope
to go and enjoy you in the
fatherland, but I do not
want to lay up merits for
heaven. I want to work for
your love alone. . . . In
the evening of this life, I
shall appear before you
with empty hands, for I do
not ask you, Lord, to
count my works. All our
justice is blemished in
your eyes. I wish, then, to
be clothed in your
own justice and to receive
from your love the eternal
possession of yourself.6
