Little by little, we are approaching the end of the liturgical year and the calendar year 2023. It has been a year in which we can understand, or at least give examples, of what this verse expresses: “Not one stone will be left upon another.” A lot of things have fallen to the ground, each

What does it mean to give everything you have to live on…having nothing left? The poor widow’s gesture is one of total generosity. Trusting in God’s providence, she gave of herself completely.
