Widow's Mite

The Gospel for Monday was:

'The Widow's Mite'.

I had always heard homilies which affirmed

The need for giving

Even when it is hard.

Sort of a guilt trip
to becme more generous.

Well Fr Gerry turned it a bit

His question was....

What kind of a society requires its poor

to contribute to its existance?

Hmmm...
That is a bigger question

to ponder,

than my feelings of guilt.
