Waya huna-hunaa nan bayo an kantidad na inhatag; an importante na naghatag sidja gikan sa idja kasing-kasing.

Uyayod gadjod sidja na bisan an isa ka kosing bastante na unta para didja, pero inhatag pa gadjod nidja an tanan.

Hingkalimtan na nan nidja an idja kaugalingon na noabot na sa punto na nahihatag rakan nidja para sa mga pobre an para unta sa idja kaugalingon, an kinabuhi na dadjon amo ray idja taghuna-huna.

An iban na mga tawo naghatag gikan sa mga sobra nila pero, sidja na mas pobre pa sa mga pobre, an tanan para sa idja kinabuhi na insibolo nan sa duha ka sensilyo an may kasing-kasing pa na makahatag nan tanan nidja kaysa sa mga kuwartahan.

An tag-sud-ong ra nidja na makab-ot nidja an kaadunahan sa premyo na wayay katapusan.

Sa idja kagutuhan nan langitnon na katigadjonan, an tanan na idja tagpanag-idja na hinahatag nan kalibutan inbalik ra sab nidja paghatag sa kalibutan.

Taghatag nidja an tanan para lamang mapanag-idja an mga butang na waya pa nidja hikit-i.

Waya hikalimti nan bayo an idja hingkat-onan na pamaagi sanan an taghutad na nan Ginoo para nidja makab-ot an umaabot na premyo.

Ato ba sab tagpreparar an ato kaugalingon parehas nan taghimo nan bayo na an idja kagustuhan nan premyo gikan sa Diyos dili sab hikalimtan nan Ginoo?

Ginoo ko, hatagi ako nan mangginhatagon na kasing-kasing para nako mahihatag an tanan nako para sa Imo glorya sanan kahimayaan, Amen.

readings for today, monday

The amount the widow gave did not matter; what was important was that she gave her heart.

She didn’t have much and one coin would have been enough, but she gave everything she had.

The widow forgot herself to the point of giving away to the poor everything she had to live on, thinking only of the life to come.

The others gave of their abundance but she - even poorer, perhaps, than many of the poor – for her whole fortune resided in two small coins - she it was who carried in her heart more wealth than many of the wealthy.

She looked only at the riches of the eternal reward.

In her desire for heavenly treasure, she gave up all she possessed as being goods that come from the earth and return to the earth.

She gave what she had in order to possess what she did not as yet see.

This poor little lady had not forgotten the means foreseen and arranged by our Lord for acquiring the future reward.

Have we prepared ourselves like the widow did so that the Lord will not forget us in our desire to acquire His reward?

Lord, give me a generous heart so that I would be able to give my all for Your glory and magnificence, Amen.
