Be more like the 'poor widow'

God does not need loud music, concert lights, high tech top of the line instruments, and amazing voices to be praised. He sees our hearts and our will to serve Him. I want to believe, because Jesus Christ was humble, God Himself is humble. I feel He would rather have an off tune, heart felt worship from someone, than what has come nowadays.

Psalm 150

1 Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise ye him for his mighty acts: praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness.
3 Praise him with sound of trumpet: praise him with psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with timbrel and choir: praise him with strings and organs.
5 Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: let every spirit praise the Lord. Alleluia.

It takes me back me back to the scripture on Mark 12:41-44:

41 And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.

We go to Mass, church, temple to worship the one true God, praising Him with all that we are, because of Him. We go to be spiritual fed and receive God's guidance; if we want to be entertained, maybe we should go to a cinema, music concert, or ball game. Let give God what belongs to God with our hearts always. Let us be like the poor widow. Amen.

Blessed Father, teach us to be more like Jesus Christ on a daily basis... Dear Shepherd, our Saviour, lead us to Your promise land. Let us not be led astray by the world, as the world continues its best yo take over the church. Amen.
