Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Mark 12: 38-44

In this reading we have the story of another widow who gave generously. Many rich people gave far more; she gave only two small copper coins not worth very much. But Jesus was moved by what she did and praised her to his disciples. She gave all that she had to live on. God loves generosity. Nothing is more moving to the heart of Jesus than our willingness to give of ourselves to help others. 1.) Why do we admire people who "give their all"? What does "giving my all" mean to me in my life? 2.) Do I give my all to my family? to my studies? to sports? 3.) What does it mean to "give my all" to God?

Evangelio: Marco 12:41-44

En esta lectura tenemos la historia de otra viuda que da con generosidad. Muchas personas ricas dieron más, pero ella sólo tenía dos moneditas de cobre que no valían mucho. Pero Jesús se conmovió con lo que ella hizo y la alabó ante sus discípulos. Ella dio todo lo que tenía para vivir. Dios ama generosamente. Nada es más conmovedor para el corazón de Jesús que nuestra disposición de dar de nosotros mismos a otros. 1.) ¿Por qué admiramos a las personas que "dan todo lo que tienen"? ¿Qué significa para mí y mi vida dar todo lo que tengo? 2.) ¿Doy todo lo que tengo a mi familia, mis estudios, el deporte? 3.) ¿Qué significar dar todo lo que tengo a Dios?

THE CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP The core vocation in the Gospel of Mark is the vocation, or call, to discipleship. Today’s Gospel passage provides us with one last example of what the vocation to discipleship means, and one example of what it doesn’t mean. A destitute widow shows us that discipleship means following Jesus’ way of service, even if it requires giving one’s livelihood (or life). The scribes show us by their bad example that discipleship should entail a vocation to extend God’s care to those who are most in need. In our reading from the book of Kings another widow and her son are close to death. They too give what little they have, but they are rewarded by Elijah with food enough for a year. And the reading from the Letter to the Hebrews reminds us that Jesus sacrificed his life “to bring salvation to those who eagerly await him” (Hebrews 9:28). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LLAMADOS A SER DISCÍPULOS La vocación central en el Evangelio según san Marcos es la vocación, o el llamado de ser discípulos. El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy nos brinda por lo menos un ejemplo de qué significa la vocación de ser discípulo y un ejemplo de lo que no significa. Una viuda pobre nos muestra que ser un buen discípulo significa seguir el camino de servicio de Jesús, incluso si implica entregar todo lo que tenemos para vivir (o incluso nuestra vida). Los letrados nos muestran con su mal ejemplo que ser un buen discípulo implica la vocación de hacer llegar el cuidado de Dios a los más necesitados. En nuestra lectura del libro de los Reyes otra viuda y su hijo corren peligro de morir. Ellos también entregan lo poco que tienen, pero son recompensados por Elías con comida suficiente para un año. Y la lectura de la carta a los hebreos nos recuerda que Jesús sacrificó su vida “para salvación de aquellos que lo aguardan” (Hebreos 9:28). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
