About this episode

Fr Shane Gallagher discusses the themes of generosity and humility as illustrated in Mark 12:38-44.

Today’s prayer coach reflection comes from Mark 12:38-44, where Jesus warns against seeking recognition and praise, before pointing to the example of a poor widow who quietly gives ‘all she had to live on.’ It’s a passage that challenges us to think about generosity, humility and what truly matters in the eyes of God. To reflect on that message and how it applies to our daily lives, we’re joined by Fr Shane Gallagher, Chaplain at Letterkenny University Hospital.
