About the poor righteous widow:

"So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the Lord Almighty. � Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, � older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. � Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. � But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. � The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. � But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. � But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. � Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. � They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." �
