Readings for today Monday.
First Reading for today’s Gospel Monday, taken from Daniel 1,1-6.8-20: “No one was found equal to Daniel, Ananias, Mishael and Azariah.”
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiachin king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came and besieged Jerusalem. The Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and some of the utensils of the temple of God; He took them to the land of Shinar, and placed the utensils in the treasury of the temple of his god. The king told Ashpenaz, his chief chamberlain, to bring some of the children of Israel of royal blood and nobility, young, without any defect, handsome, intelligent and wise, quick to learn and prudent in judgment, who could take his place in the king’s palace; they would be taught the language and literature of the Chaldeans; After three years of training they would enter the king’s service. The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from the royal table. Among them were men from Judah: Daniel, Ananias, Mishael and Azariah. But Daniel was determined not to defile himself with the king’s food or wine; so he begged the chief eunuch to spare him this pollution. Although God had granted Daniel the favor and sympathy of the chief chamberlain, he said to him: “I am afraid of my Yahweh the king; he is the one who has assigned you food and drink. If he sees that you look miserable Compared to other young men your age, you will put my life in danger before the king.” Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief chamberlain had put in charge of Daniel, Ananias, Mishael and Azariah: “Please test your servants for ten days. Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then see how “See yourself in comparison with the other young men who eat at the royal table, and treat your servants according to what you see.” He granted this request and put them to the test for ten days; After ten days they seemed healthier and better fed than any of the young people who ate from the royal table. So the steward continued to take away the food and wine they were supposed to receive, and gave them vegetables. To these four young men God gave knowledge and skill in all literature and science, and to Daniel the understanding of all visions and dreams. At the end of the time the king had specified for their preparation, the chief eunuch brought them before Nebuchadnezzar. When the king had spoken with all of them, none was found equal to Daniel, Ananias, Mishael and Azariah; and so they entered the king’s service. In any question of wisdom or prudence that the king posed to them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his kingdom. God’s word.

Today’s Gospel: Luke 21,1-4.
Today’s Gospel explained – Readings for today Monday for the reflection of the Holy Gospel of the day: “I assure you that this poor widow has given more than anyone else.”
At that time, raising his eyes, Jesus saw some rich people putting their offerings into the Temple treasury. He also saw a widow of very humble condition, who was putting in two small copper coins, and he said: “I assure you that this poor widow has given more than anyone else. Because all the others gave as an offering something of what they had left, but she , out of his poverty, he gave everything he had to live on. Lord’s word.
Reflection of Pope Francis.
Regarding today’s Gospel, we can say that the poor are for us like teachers. We are taught that a person is not valuable for what he owns, for what he has in his bank account. A poor person, a person who does not have material goods, always maintains his dignity. The poor can teach us a lot, also about humility and trust in God… The widow who puts two small coins into the temple treasury is an example of the generosity of those who, even having little or nothing, give everything. (Homily of Pope Francis)
