Mark 12:38-44 • Recession
Cian: Hi there Bella, Why are you so sad?
Bella: Ah just this recession is getting me down, I have no savings for anything as no one has any spare cash now.
Cian: I’m in the same boat, the piggy bank is empty. But I am going to join a local charity walk today and help some of the older people do it, we are going to try and break a world record with the most people walking a mile for charity. Together we can gather up a couple of Euros! The Gospel this Sunday tells us that even with little money we can do good things and give of ourselves for others Bella. C’mon, you can come too and we can do it together!
Think about the important things in your life and how you value them.
