Note: This prayer fills a slot that is not currently filled by The Village Shepherd.
Gospel Note:
Mark's juxtaposing of what were, no doubt, two independent
bits of tradition itself makes an important point in the contrast

that underscores their pretentious and self-serving religiosity;
on the other hand, there is the widow who without ostentation
selflessly gives all the money she has.
