City Of Light Anglican Churchaurora, Illinois

The poor widow who gives all that she has teaches us what it means to follow Jesus. The religious people want to look like good, strong people who have it all together, but the widow admits that she is weak and then gives all of who weakness to the Lord. We want to be a church of inner poverty by admitting that we are like that poor widow, meeting our smallness without embarrassment because God takes our weakness and bring new life. Jesus' offering on the cross was small, foolish, and weak, but God uses weakness to save. As it was for Christ, so it is for his church; so it is for us.
