A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.Matthew 13:3-8

The Widow's Coin
Several weeks ago, during the Student Mass at Christ the King Parish, Msgr. Kenneth Knapp recited Luke 21 to the student body during the Homily.
|
As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “I tell you the truth,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Following the Homily, Msgr. Knapp discussed the importance and magnitude of the widow’s gift. She gave the coins when she actually needed them herself. To emphasize the point, Msgr. Knapp then distributed $1 coins to each student, teacher and parent present at the Mass with a challenge. He asked each person to think of a way to make a real difference with their coin and Msgr. Knapp left the challenge at that.
