Weekly Reflection
God calls us to give all we have, putting our trust in him.
Our readings today feature two widows who teach us
about faithfulness. To have faith is not just to hold our
breath and aimlessly wish for good outcomes, Rather,
God calls us to a faith that is endless trust in him,
knowing in our deepest heart that God loves and cares
for us beyond measure.
Elijah goes to Zarephath, where he asks a widow for
water and bread. She brings him the water but tells him
she does not have much left for bread. He tells her to
not be afraid and that her supply will not go empty. In
the second reading, the author writes that Christ appear
{ed} before God on our behalf. In the Gospel, Jesus observes a widow contribute to the treasury and teaches
his disciples that her gift is worth far more than the
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day: Canadians “pause in silence to remember those who died in war and to pray for the victims of aggression and inhumanity throughout the world. It is a day to pray for peace and to consider what we are doing as individuals, as a community and as a nation to bring God’s peace into the world.” This is a day when a believing community should rededicate itself by prayer and action to the ideals Jesus gives us in the Beatitudes (Ordo 2023-2024) Members are invited to pause and pray the attached prayer in remembrance.
On this Rememberance Day, we pray:
Loving God, have mercy on your people, and open our hearts to peace and love. Reward all who have died for their country, and grant that Canada and all nations may continue to work for peace and justice. Amen.
