In the Gospels, Jesus observes a poor widow give two copper coins as an offering at the temple – a huge relative to her status in life. In modern times, Pope Francis has habitually opened the resources of the Vatican to the poor and homeless. Although these two people are divided by centuries and status, their example is the same: all of us are called to act with charity, for in doing so, we imitate Christ.If you cannot find Christ in the beggar at the church door, you will not find Him in the chalice. – St. John ChrysostomDiscussion points:   Links from this episode:Catholic volunteer network Send us your questions!Do you have a question for Bishop Wall?
