HOLY MONDAY
Reading: Mark 12:41-44
Focus: Mark 14:44
They
all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in
everything-all she had to live on.
Reflection:
As we enter Holy week we reflect on
the last week of Jesus’ ministry. We remember all the time, energy and words
that he poured out on others leading up to Good Friday. On this day He gave the
ultimate gift of His life. Everything he could have, He gave us.
Because Jesus was divine and His life was worth so much,
this sacrifice seems so costly. During His time here on earth His mission was
to make people feel their worth, feel worthy of God’s love, through what He was
going to do.
When the widow gave everything she had, Jesus said
“she has put more into the treasury than all the others”. She was not made
worthy by the amount she gave, but by her faith that she knew she would be
taken care of when she brought everything to Christ.
Let us bring our everything to Christ this week. Let
us approach the cross in a worthy manner knowing that because Jesus gave His
everything, we are redeemed.
Prayer:
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your
Word is the light of my life, my path, and my hope. Renew my faith as I
follow you today. Thank you for drawing closer to me in my moments of disbelief
and providing lessons when I deserve nothing but rebuke. I marvel at the works
of your hands and the power of your breath. Breathe new life into my spirit today,
O Lord.
