There is a very important place within the life of Christians for caring for widows. James, the brother of Jesus, made the point by stating that caring for widows was at the heart of true religion. Paul gives Timothy instructions on caring for widows. The office of deacon was first instituted so that churches would be able to effectively care for widows without neglecting preaching and prayer, and Jesus commended the faith of the widow who gave all she had.
