Tb 12:1, 5-15; 26; Tobit 13:2, 6-8; Mark 12:38-44

reaching out
from a broken heart
we hear
to give thanks
and praise
for all our blessings
seeing all as a gift
and to sing with a given joy
praying
fasting
and giving alms
not from our surplus
but all we have
seeking only goodness
in God’s love and mercy


What words bring you consolation and healing?
Do you see all as a gift from God?
How do you praise God?
