November 7, 2021 by frbillnicholas THE REAL MEANING BEHIND THE WIDOW’S MITE Homily32nd Sunday of the Year – B—–1 Kings 17:10-16Mark 12:41-44 The story of the Widow’s Mite (Mark 12:41-44) is popular among the stories of the Gospels, but it is more than a simple story of Love and Generosity. When read beside the story of Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath (I Kings 17:10-16) it takes on a meaning beyond a simple act of “giving”. Fr. Bill discusses both stories together and discusses the deeper meaning behind the generosity of both widows.
