Jerusalem, 27th November 2006

A poor widow.

She didn’t think I don’t have money.
She didn’t think: The others have more.
She didn’t think: It’s a shame to put in two small coins when the others put in more.
She didn’t think: Two small coins is nothing for the temple.
She didn’t think: I don’t give money for the temple, because those who live in the temple are richer than me.
She didn’t think: I prefer rather to give God spiritual gifts.
She didn’t think: I will not give money for God who has taken my husband.
She didn’t think so.

A poor widow.
She „has offered her whole livelihood”.

Why?
