Widows are visible everywhere in today’s readings. Jesus denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but devour widows’ houses. He commends the poor widow who in his view gave far more than the major donors. Jesus doesn’t see her simply as an object of compassion or charity. She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit of food with Elijah, does something of great importance. Our service will be live streamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 10:45 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Las viudas están presentes en todas partes en las lecturas de hoy. Jesús denuncia a los escribas que hacen oraciones impresionantes pero devoran las casas de las viudas. Elogia a la pobre viuda que, en su opinión, dio mucho más que los grandes donantes. Jesús no la ve simplemente como un objeto de compasión o caridad. Ella, como la viuda de Sarepta que comparte su último trozo de comida con Elías, hace algo de gran importancia. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
