Immaculate Heart of Mary

38And he said to them in his doctrine: “Beware of the scribes, who prefer to walk in long robes and to be greeted in the marketplace, 39and to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues, and to have the first seats at feasts, 40who devour the houses of widows under the pretense of long prayers. These shall receive the more extensive judgment.” 41And Jesus, sitting opposite the offertory box, considered the way in which the crowd cast coins into the offertory, and that many of the wealthy cast in a great deal. 42But when one poor widow had arrived, she put in two small coins, which is a quarter. 43And calling together his disciples, he said to them: “Amen I say to you, that this poor widow has put in more than all those who contributed to the offertory. 44For they all gave from their abundance, yet truly, she gave from her scarcity, even all that she had, her entire living.”
