God seeks to help those in need, like the widows in the First Reading and Gospel story. And He works powerfully in their situations, summoning forth a wealth of faith.
He calls us to help them, so that we can be present to the power of faith that arises in these situations. It is a faith that places trust in God no matter what, because God has sent Jesus to be our faithful High Priest to sacrifice Himself once for all to save us fully--we who were once sinners in great destitution. And so we offer Him a sacrifice of willingness to live Life in His way, and show others His power to provide for us, most especially by the gift of salvation.
