Taken from Faith Book:
Elijah said to the widow,
“The jar of flour shall not go empty,
nor the jug of oil run dry
until the day when the Lord sends rain upon the earth.”
Reflection:
“Drought” in the Bible is a reminder that calls our attention to those in dire circumstances, in need of: the basics of food and shelter; a voice of encouragement; a welcome into places that have barred or ignored them; an appreciation of their gifts; a recognition of their dignity as God’s children, etc.
So, we ask ourselves:
· Who are the contemporary “widows and orphans.”
· Shall we help them by contributing to Catholic Campaign for Human Development?
