Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B

Giving from our need

Reading I: 1 Kings 17:10–16 (Elijah and the widow)
Reading II: Hebrews 9:24–28 (the sacrifice of Jesus)
Gospel: Mark 12:38–44 (hypocrisy of the scribes, and the widow’s mite)

Key Passage: Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” (Mark 12:43–44)

Adult: What are you willing to give out of love for God that would be a hardship for you?
Child: What would you be willing to give up for someone else?
