Lord God Almighty, who knows the deep places of our souls, teach us to value what is in the heart, that we would not be swayed by that which appears to be great but would treasure true love, generosity, and goodness as you do, through Christ our Lord, who gave of himself for us and was raised to your right hand in the Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then he called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.”‘ – Mark 12:42-43
