Summary: Jesus observes a poor widow giving her last two coins as an offering, contrasting her sacrifice with others who gave from their surplus. He praises her for offering everything she had.
Gospel Acclamation: Stay awake! For you do not know when the Son of Man will come. (Luke 21:1-4)
When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.
He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”
