Fr. Patrick Briscoe, O.P., on What We Might Learn from the Widow's Coins

". . .Mark's Gospel tells us the widow's two coins were worth 'a few cents.' If we stop there, we see that she has given much, as Jesus points out, from her meager means. It is remarkable to meditate upon the fact that God sees differently than we do. That far from praising the rich who put in large sums, Jesus draws our attention to the gift of the widow.

"What does the widow’s gift mean? . . ."

In a recent commentary, Father Patrick Briscoe, O.P., reflected on the widow's gift, the love that was involved, and some of the other symbolism we might find in the widow's two coins.
