However, we must not use this word as a tool to demand that other people hand over their whole livelihood. Just before this, Jesus rebuked the scribes as those “who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers” (Mark 12:40). The heart of the Lord, who looks upon the offering of a poor person, and the greed that tries to extract more from that person cannot be the same. We must hold the widow’s devotion precious and at the same time care for the lives of people in hardship.
