A look into nature speaks of a new time of year, winter. We are not asked questions: Have we done everything about God? Did we give God everything we were obliged to give? Nature orphan. She gave us everything that was born. Like an echo, the word &#8220;everything&#8221; is brought to us today (Mark 12:44).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The last sentence of today&#8217;s Gospel emphasizes the meaning of the word everything when the Lord Jesus said words of praise about a woman &#8211; a poor widow: &#8220;In her poverty, she gave everything she had, all her livelihood&#8221; (Mark 12:44).<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is something of dignity in a woman&#8217;s gesture, which deprives the present man of courage\u2014a consumer man who would like to take and not give anything on his own. The word &#8220;everything&#8221; to sacrifice &#8220;everything&#8221; today shocks and at least amazes. The person who chooses to do so today is considered a madman or a weirdo. Jesus evaluates it differently. Today&#8217;s gospel represents three categories of people.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, they are the teachings of the Scriptures, the scribes, the people, the consumers. They want to take. We know that they demanded respect from others, honors, titles, first places &#8230; The second group of people gives a lot, but only enough to still have enough left for themselves. On the contrary, the third is a group of people who were enchanted by the word &#8220;everything.&#8221; They are the ones who share what they have, with the last piece of bread, which for God, for Jesus, for another man they give everything, like a woman, a widow of the gospel. She doesn&#8217;t share; she gives everything she has. The gospel wants to point us to two different attitudes when one gives only something and gives everything. And a woman widow? Her &#8220;two small coins, which is a quadrant&#8221; (Mark 12:42), did not help anyone. However, the woman did &#8220;only&#8221; what she considered the best, gave everything, and thus put her life in direct dependence on God. Jesus&#8217; way speaks of dependence on the Father; Jesus calls this path the path of a true disciple, so the Gospel does not speak of social feeling, but of surrendering one&#8217;s life to God; God wants the heart of man. It is irresponsible, but it is not easy either.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is a sacrifice? In everyday life, every gift for God is called a sacrifice or gift. When out of love for God, he consciously and voluntarily renounces pleasant and permissible things for his soul or his brothers&#8217; good. What is the victim&#8217;s goal? What the victim costs us. Our own life has the highest price of sacrifice. This is how we understand death for Christ. For example, let&#8217;s remember the Auschwitz martyr Maximilian Kolbe, who went out of love for God to a bunker of hunger for his fellow prisoner Francisco.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A sacrifice of love to God can also be the renunciation of food, not only during Lent and Friday, the renunciation of an evening film on television, when I use the time for my family or read something for my soul. It is also a gift to give up the benefits that belong to me. Renunciation is to help us overcome our weaknesses, mistakes, or sins.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are preparing for the end of the church year.
