PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “TRUE GENEROSITY”

SATURDAY, June 6, 2026Saturday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saint Norbert, bishop PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “TRUE GENEROSITY” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MARK 12: 38 - 44In the course of his teaching Jesus said,“Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robesand accept greetings in the marketplaces,seats of honor in synagogues,and places of honor at banquets.They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext,recite lengthy prayers.They will receive a very severe condemnation.”He sat down opposite the treasuryand observed how the crowd put money into the treasury.Many rich people put in large sums.A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in morethan all the other contributors to the treasury.For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,her whole livelihood.” Reflection by Erkz Java: Internal Auditor for a global insurance company.
